This term, we have begun welcoming our students into the gunyah, Shearwater's special space, as part of a dawn ceremony, where we pay respects to the elements that make it possible for all life to exist.
The gunyah is where we can learn how to conduct ourselves in a ceremonial space and be reminded of our connection to the life-giving forces that unite us all.
In the timeline of humanity, these ways of paying respect have been integral. More recently we have not been doing this as well as we can. We value the exploration of where we originate from and honour our connection to nature and spirit. We strive for the children to feel connection to this place and to be strengthened by it.
