Acknowledgement of Country

We, the staff and students of Warrnambool College, acknowledge that we are learning on the traditional lands of the Peek Whurrong people of the Maar Nation.

​

We pay our deepest respects to their Elders; past, present and emerging and to their continuing connection to the lands and waterways.

​

We also extend that respect to all other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who gather here.

​

We stand side by side with our First Nations people and commit to building a brighter future together.
