Stories and highlights

Aboriginal Mural Meaning –

Our mural is a reflection of the area on which our school sits, home to the Cabrogal Clan of the Dharug nation. These were the traditional custodians who once walked these lands in search of food, water and shelter. The vibrant patterns, river, symbols and animal tracks all reflect this. The meeting place symbol represents the school as a place of learning, with the staff on the outside and the students on the inside, represented by seven people symbols each being a year group from kindy to year six. The old and mighty gum tree in the mural represents our Bonnyrigg Heights families. From when we begin school and finish, the tree remembers all the stories of time gone by.The goanna is a totem animal for the Dharug people and is seen as an ancestral guardian and symbol of resilience, adaptation and survival. The possum is another Dharug totem with significance as its fur is used to carry and cradle babies to keep them warm from the cold.
