We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we mentor. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise their long-held traditions of mentoring and nurturing the next generation through story, connection, and shared wisdom. We honour that legacy by creating spaces where learning flows both ways and every voice is valued.
