Passionate About PE in Melbourne

Barayip Primary School is in Tarneit, as part of Wyndham. We acknowledge the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land where we gather and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise their continued connection to Country and their role in caring for and maintaining Country and waterways over thousands of generations.
