Here are the important messages direct from the Department of Education
We ask that you ACKNOWLEDGE the ancestors of this land, the Dharawal speaking people.
We are grateful that they cared for these lands
From the tall Eucalypts
To the Gymea Lily
And Deeban – the waterways of Port Hacking surrounding us.
We pay our respects to the great artist who engraved on the rocks,
Buri Buri – the whale
Buru – kangaroo
And Dhan – fish
And we look up to the Kirrawee, the sulphur crested cockatoos, Who still fly over our school.
We also pay our respects to our elders,
Both past and present amongst us,
As they hold the stories,
Traditions and
Knowledge.
We invite all people to learn,
Flourish
And achieve
As they journey through our school,
Kirrawee High School.
It is the sum total of these pillars – indivisible – that represent rigorous and academic learning at Kirrawee High School. They recognise the joy that is learning, the building of skills, the wonder of new ideas, and the urge we all share to express our common values and celebrate our unique identity.
Kirrawee High School is grateful to our local businesses who support the School in so many different ways. Please help by Supporting them.
