We, Jessie's Classroom , acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the unceded lands and waters where we live, the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past, present, and future; and honour the spiritual, cultural, and political connection to this unique place that has been ongoing for more than 2000 generations.© 2025 Jessie's Classroom.
