At Hester Hornbrook Academy we acknowledge the Bunurong and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we teach, learn and work. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We also acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander staff, students and families within our community. Our school recognises that the education system in this country is a colonial construct, and we commit to decolonise our teaching, learning and wellbeing practices. Our staff honour the educational customs that have existed as part of the oldest continuous living culture on Earth. We have a deep appreciation for the sacrifices and ongoing resistance of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong peoples. We acknowledge that we all continue to benefit from their protection of culture, land and waterways. We live on unceded Land. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
We commit to ensuring everyone we work with is safe, empowered, supported and respected, especially children and young people. We support and celebrate diversity of race, culture, ability, gender, sexuality and gender identity.
