Kew Neighbourhood Learning Centre acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we meet, learn, create and develop. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the

wider Victorian community and beyond. We acknowledge that we gather on country on which Members and Elders of the Wurundjeri people and their forebears have been custodians for many centuries and on which Aboriginal People have performed age old ceremonies of celebration, initiation, exchange of knowledge, healing and renewal. We acknowledge their living culture and their unique role in the life of this region.
