We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather, the Darug people. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, particularly Uncle Wes Marne, whose wisdom and leadership have guided us for many years. We also acknowledge the present Elders, Aunty Jenny Ebsworth, Uncle Greg Simms, and Jamie Eastwood, whose ongoing contributions continue to shape and strengthen our community. We celebrate the emerging voices of the future, our preschool children, who carry the promise of the Darug culture forward. We honour their role in preserving and sharing the rich heritage of this land for generations to come.
