Reflection

Remembrance Day - November 11

The Pledge of Remembrance (Rupert McCall) 

Australian soldiers – hear this pledge – your flag flies in the sun 

And now we take a minute to remember what you’ve done 

When you went away to battle, you were proud as proud can be 

And you did it for your country, yes, you flew the flag for me 

Now we live our life with freedom when we work and when we play 

For that, my heart says ‘Thank you’ on this very special day

And as we go, we take the words that sing Australia’s song

“I am young and I am worthy, I am brave and I am strong

In the face of any challenge, I will strive to rise above

I deserve this opportunity to live, to learn, to love

I can truly make a difference; my path is up to me

And this is my commitment – be the best that I can be.”

Our Acknowledgment of Country

We acknowledge that we learn, grow, create and celebrate on Wurundjeri Country. 

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

We are grateful for the opportunity to share the glorious land, sky, waterways, and wonderful wildlife with the traditional owners.

Exploring Country brings us joy, happiness and peace. 

We will continue our connection with Country through respectful play, by caring for our community and the environment and engaging in learning that challenges injustice and leads change.
