Always was, always will be

Acknowledgement of Country

We would like to acknowledge that we are on Wurundjeri Woiwurrung Country. There are many other language groups in Victoria and Australia. They are all significant parts of Australia’s history and different First Nations groups live in each area of Australia. Country is more than land. Country can also mean a sense of belonging. Where you are from and where your ancestors are. There are 6 layers of Wurundjeri Country. We will share more of this at assembly. We would also like to pay respects to Elders past and present.

This acknowledgment was written by Chloe, Year 3.

Of Birds and Monuments

Fri 24 November 2023, 8:00 pm – 9:50 pm

Hawthorn Arts Centre, $40

Featuring three multi-award-winning works by Melbourne composers Linda Kouvaras and Jane Hammond, Of Birds and Monuments is the result of unique collaborations with Indigenous artists.

Kouvaras’ epic Herring Island Piano Sonata for piano, recorded sound and narrator utilises text by N’arweet Dr Carolyn Briggs AM, telling powerful stories behind Indigenous landmarks within Melbourne, narrated by Tiriki Onus. The Buluwirri Bugaja Piano Suite, uses text by Onus and archival film footage about his trailblazing Indigenous rights activist grandfather Bill Onus. Hammond’s Songs of the Helmeted Honeyeater for saxophone, piano, sound and film tells the story of our endangered Victorian avifaunal emblem, the Helmeted Honeyeater, and the efforts to save this species.
