Aboriginal Education at Port Noarlunga Primary

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge and respect the Kaurna people who are the custodians and First Nation of the ancestral lands that we provide our service on. We acknowledge the deep feelings of attachment and relationship of the Kaurna people to country including the land, sea and rivers. We also pay respects to our Elders who continue to provide wisdom, leadership, guidance, advice and support to our service.
