We honour and pay respect to the moomaremener, of the Oyster Bay nation, the original custodians of this Country.

The term ‘Country’ encompasses all the elements. Land, seas, sky and waterways are included when we talk of Country.

Rosny College stands on the banks of the Derwent River.  The people of this area – the moomaremener – knew this waterway as timtumilli minanya. The river gave them resources and food, and in return the people maintained the health of the waters.

This Country has become our responsibility.  We need to show the same consideration as the moomaremener did for timtumilli minanya and all Country, because Country has never stopped caring for us.
