Aboriginal Connections

Sorell School is deeply committed to recognising and celebrating our past and current connections to the Palawa people of Lutruwita. We especially recognise that this was always Mumirimina Country and that they are no longer with us.

Our administration buildings have been designed to publicly welcome all Aboriginal people to our school. According to the Palawa, black cockatoos are messenger birds. That’s why we have two of them proudly displayed on our new school emblem. These birds connect us to our past and represent our school values.
