VATE acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which the VATE office is situated.
We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first storytellers; and that knowledge transfer through storytelling is woven into the fabric of this Country. We acknowledge all First Nations peoples that make contributions to our teaching and learning communities.
We pay our respects to Elders from all nations – and to their Ancestors and Elders past and present.
