All schools provide opportunities for all students, staff and the wider community to acquire and develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal history, cultures and experiences.
The NSW Department of Education acknowledges the connections between identity, Aboriginal culture and wellbeing and incorporrates various programs to build and bridge the connections made in these areas, embedding student wellbeing approaches to increase student engagement, participation and retention.
At Corrimal High School, we are commited to establishing and building those quality connections with Aboriginal community groups. Links with the community are crucial for all Aboriginal students. The Aboriginal culture revolves around and functions on the social connections and community of people they live with. Corrimal High School supports links with the Aboriginal community and has been involved in the following activities:
a cooperative agreement with the NIAECG (Northern Illawarra Aboriginal Education Consultative Group) has been signed. Attendance at NIAECG meetings allows information from this peak advisory community group to inform discussion with the CHS Aboriginal education team.
close links with feeder Primary Schools e.g. NAIDOC Day celebrations and Formal Assemblies.
Parents and community are welcome and your involvement in our school, and school decision process, is wanted. We would be happy to discuss your involvement within the school and commuity and ask that you contact the Principal (Mr Paul Roger), Aboriginal Education Coordinator (Mr Joel Foster) or ACLO (Ms Cassie Spears).

Corrimal High School stands on the traditional lands of the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal nation. We acknowledge and pay our respect to all clans and groups of the Dharawal nation – the Wodi Wodi of Kangaroo Valley to Lake Illawarra, the Bong Bong of Mossvale, the Allowrie of Lake Illawarra to Fairy Meadow, the Murra Murra of Kiama, the Jerrungarah of Kiama to Shoalhaven heads, the Thoura of Towradgi to Stanwell Park, the Gweagal of Otford to Cronulla, the Bidgegal of Botany Bay and the Gubbitch Ditch of Campbelltown to Tahmoor. We remember and respect their past, present and future connections to this land. We honour their descendants, who stand with us today as part of our school community and we value the spiritual and cultural traditions they celebrate. We pay our respects to the young generations and future elders as they are the strength that will keep these traditions and dreaming alive. We also extend this respect to all those in our community.
