EDUCATION RESOURCES

I acknowledge the First Nations people of this country which we surround. I acknowledge their ongoing connections to culture and spirit on the land above and the ocean below. We are ancestors and we are totems linking them back to the dreaming. This is my place, and I allow you into my water, my space, my home. We have lived and kept balance here for millennia. Down here I am beautiful, and I am peaceful. But make no mistake, I am swift. You must tread lightly, or I will strike. I am a ruler of the sea. Respect me and I’ll respect you.
