Indigenous Ward Signage

27 February 2025

We are deeply grateful for the generous funds raised through the South Oakleigh College Walk. Thanks to this support, Monash Children's Hospital School is pleased to have installed new signage in the inpatient wards, highlighting the language of the Boonwurrung peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land. This initiative is an important step in our Reconciliation Action Plan and supports the inclusion of First Nations Peoples. We proudly acknowledge and celebrate the rich cultural contributions that First Nations Peoples bring to our school community.

Return to News & Events

I acknowledge the sovereign ‘First Nations People of Country’, especially those of the Boonwurrung country, and recognise their ongoing and deep connection to the land, water and sky. I commit to protecting these as I live, work, play and travel across this vast nation. I pay my respects to First Nation peoples especially elders past, present and to all descendants of this nation who have cared for this place since creation. I thank them for their rich history, culture and indigenous ‘ways of knowing.’
