Fire Carriers / Smoking Ceremony

Tomorrow we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land we learn on the Wurrundjeri people of the Koolin Nation. Uncle Ian a traditional Elder will join us after our Beginning of School Year Mass to hold a Smoking Ceremony to welcome us to Traditional Land to start our School Year. We look forward to continuing to work with Uncle Ian as part of our Fire Carriers Program (Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education).
