Our school, Tomerong Public School, is situated on Yuin land. We acknowledge the importance of stories, as it informs history, passes on knowledge and traditions, and helps connect people to Country and culture. We have been working with many First Nation community members, including Theresa Ardler, Matty Simms and Johnathan Hill to learn some of the local Dhurga language, cultural traditions, Dreaming stories and significant landscapes and sites in our area. Each of our classrooms is named after a significant site, most have been based upon the local Dreaming story of “Bundoola -The Great Rain Spirit*”. Our school has created the collaborative artwork “bunaan yana” which is a stone pathway that enters into our ceremonial yarning circle. Each class worked together to design and paint an artwork associated with either their class story, other local stories of significance, or their own stories of learning about Country.  The students have painted the stones using an exterior paint, they have been sealed and will be installed permanently with concrete and landscaping. We have chosen to lay the pavers in the entry of the yarning circle as it visually reminds us daily (as it’s situated in our playground) of the stories we have learnt together, as a school community. It also creates a beautiful, peaceful place for students to connect to Country and culture.  * Bundoola ? “The Great Rain Spirit”- Father of the 13 Clans of the South Coast by Uncle George Brown retold by Theresa Ardler.”
