Parliament House Flag Ceremony

26 Feb 2025

Parliament House Flag

On 26 February, Heathcote High School welcomed a visit from The Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, the Honourable Milton Dick MP and Jenny Ware MP, Federal Member for Hughes as the first school to host the Australian Flag Ceremony tour.

Our SRC and students proudly held the enormous flag set to fly above Parliament House in Canberra after the tour.

The flag is 12.8 metres long and 6.4 metres high, which is about the same size as the side of a double-decker bus. It weighs 22 kilograms.

Naggangbi - Hello & Welcome We come together today on the land of the Gweagal people, of the Dharawal speaking nation. Let us acknowledge and respect the Elders who have passed, those present and the children of today. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together in this special place, united by the bottlebrush that sits on our hearts. This reminds us of our connection to this land and its people. We honour the strength, resilience, and wisdom of the traditional custodians, as we continue to learn to express our love and gratitude for the people and land we share.
