CLAREMONT COLLEGE WISHES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESPECT ITS PRESENCE IN THE COUNTRY AND ANCIENT LANDS OF THE MURU-ORA-DIAL ABORIGINAL PEOPLE, ONE OF THE TWENTY NINE TRIBES IN THE SYDNEY EORA REGION. SITUATED HIGH ON A HILL OVERLOOKING COOGEE, CLAREMONT COLLEGE ENJOYS THE SAME BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE LANDS ON WHICH THE MURU-ORA-DIAL PEOPLE ONCE ROAMED. FROM THIS VIEWPOINT THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS COULD OBSERVE THE MIGRATING WHALES AND ENJOY THE FRESHWATER STREAM WHICH STILL FLOWS UNDER THE SCHOOL TODAY. 

THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE TRADITIONALLY PLACED GREAT EMPHASIS ON THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN IN THE PRACTICAL METHODS OF BUSH KNOWLEDGE AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. TODAY, CLAREMONT COLLEGE, IN THIS SAME LOCATION, PROUDLY CARRIES SIMILAR TRADITIONS AND VALUES IN THEIR CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION OF YOUNG AUSTRALIANS.

CLAREMONT COLLEGE…

A CHILD FOCUSED SCHOOL FILLED WITH LEARNING AND DISCOVERY, EXCITEMENT, FUN, CREATIVITY, COLOUR, MUSIC, SPORT, DRAMA, CHALLENGE, CELEBRATION, CARE AND FRIENDSHIP, FAMILY, ENCOURAGEMENT, A LOVE OF GOD IN JESUS AND A LOVE OF THE FULLNESS OF LIFE.
