Chewton Primary School is situated on Djaara Country.
We acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people, the custodians and caretakers of the land. We thank them for the care they have taken and continue to take of Country: the rivers, mountains, trees and animals. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We follow Bunjil's teaching: Care for self, care for others, care for Country.
We commit to Be Brave and Make Change.
We will be a voice for generations.
Now, more than ever
Biderap Season: Hot dry weather, very little rainfall, Ballambar (female Common Brown Butterflies) are flying. Walurk (tussock grass) is long and dry. Tchingal (The Southern Cross) is high in the south at sunrise.
