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.
