Acknowledgement of Country

​​​

Brisbane Catholic Education recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples as the First peoples of Australia. We acknowledge the many traditional Countries within the Archdiocese of Brisbane. We respectfully acknowledge the Yuggera/Jagera, Turrbul, Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi, Munujarli, Quandamooka, Ugarapul, Yugambeh, Butchulla / Budjala, Bundjalung, Wakka Wakka and Kombumerri Traditional Custodians of the lands where Brisbane Catholic Education offices and schools are located. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and we acknowledge the ongoing commitment of these Custodians to Catholic education within our schools. Brisbane Catholic Education understands the deep connections that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with the lands, seas and waterways of Southeast Queensland and the Torres Straits. We recognise the cultures, histories and diversity within our communities, and we honour the ongoing stewardship First Nations people have with the environment. 

We commit to ongoing reconciliation with First Nations peoples and strive for cultural safe workplaces and schools. ​
