Connecting to Country

Learning from the world's oldest living culture

Our students learn and share First Nations culture with Uncle Dozer Atkinson, a proud member of the Bangerang Nation, who has worked alongside them to develop the school's Acknowledgement of Country. Learning about culture and Country is woven through life at Carra.
