DURRI ACMS | SECOND ANNUAL BABY SPRINKLING CEREMONY

Today, Durri ACMS proudly held its Second Annual Baby Sprinkling Ceremony on Dunghutti Country, welcoming our Dalai’s aged 12 months and under to Country.

This beautiful and meaningful occasion brought together our Elders, families and community to celebrate our precious little ones and give them their first traditional welcome to the beautiful Country we stand on today — Dunghutti Barri.

Our Elders play such an important role in keeping our culture, traditions and connections to Country alive, passing down their knowledge, love and wisdom to the next generation. Today was a special reminder of the importance of nurturing our Dalai’s and ensuring they grow up strong in culture, identity and belonging.

A big Marrungbu (thank you) to our beautiful Elders, families, staff and everyone who contributed to making this special event so meaningful. Your presence, support and cultural knowledge helped make today a memorable occasion for our little ones and their families.

May our Dalai’s continue to grow strong, surrounded by love, culture, family and the guidance of our Elders. ❤️💛🖤

Strong Dalai’s. Strong Families. Strong Culture. Strong Community.

**Proudly on Dunghutti Country
