We would like to acknowledge the past, present and future generations of the Dharug people, who are the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet.
Everyday when we come to school, we can appreciate the beautiful bushland and native animals that the Dharug traditional ways preserved for us, and as students, we hope to preserve this land for future generations.

Warami Ngani, (Hello, how are you?) I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the original people of this land; elders past, present and emerging. This land belongs to the Dharug people and connects us to their history and into the future. We are grateful to be amongst this amazing landscape with its gifts of plentiful bushland, rugged mountains, flowing rivers and countless native wildlife both big and small.
