Hello OLA parents, staff and children,  

Do you know the difference between the Welcome To Country and the Acknowledgement Of Country? If not, read on to find out… 

Acknowledgement Of Country 

The Acknowledgement Of Country is a sign of respect that everyone can perform. Lots of places say the acknowledgement of country before a big speech, meeting or even just to pay their respects. 

Welcome To Country 

The Welcome To Country is a respectful way for Aboriginal People only, to let us into their land.  Only Aboriginal People can perform it though, since it is originally their land. 

Thank you so much, 

Fire Carrier, 

Ella Pellegrino
