On behalf of The Oaks Public School community, we would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Gundungurra and Dharawal peoples, who have occupied these lands for over 65,000 years. The Oaks area was considered as a crossroads for both Gundungurra and Dharawal peoples, where they would share knowledge, trade materials and travel between the two nations. They will always be the traditional custodians of this land. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledge their deep spiritual connection to this land and the valuable contribution they make to this region, for they hold the knowledge and wisdom for our emerging leaders. As a community, we promise to always be honest, safe and respectful caretakers of this land we are learning on. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
