Acknowledgement of country
It is with deepest respect we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate throughout, the Yorta Yorta, Bangerang, Taungurung and Wurundjeri peoples, whose social, spiritual, economic, and cultural connections continue to flourish.
We pay respect to all Elders past, present and emerging, and ask for guidance as we work towards creating our vision here at GOTAFE in “Empowering Aboriginal students and community on their journey, through education and training to a culturally safe pathway to success.”
We also extend respect to all Indigenous peoples studying and working with us here at GOTAFE. We ask all to recognise the uniqueness and diversity of Aboriginal culture, society and history and promote reconciliation that gives proper recognition and respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
