At Cessnock East Public School, it is our pleasure to acknowledge the Awabakal, Darkinjung and Wonnarua peoples, the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and play. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and recognise their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. At Cessnock East Public School, we acknowledge the significance of culture in our education. We thank the community for their ongoing support and for encouraging us to explore and fulfil our curiosity to broaden our knowledge of Aboriginal History.
