Acknowledgement of Country

​​​​We acknowledge the Turrbal people as the traditional custodians of the land St Andrew's is situated.   We acknowledge the Elders past, present, and emerging and pay our respects to their deep connection with the spirit of the land on which we learn and play.  

The classes, buildings and gathering spaces at St Andrew's School are all given Aboriginal names as a sign of respect to the Turrbal People.
