Acknowledgment of Country
Red Hill Consolidated School would like to acknowledge the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation and their Elders, past, present and emerging, and their connection to this land on which we are now gathered. This land provides us with a place to learn, create, connect, play and explore. We cherish our surrounds, including the beautiful bays and waterways, the mountains and the valleys. As we think about the past and look forward to our future together, we offer our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders people.
