Indigenous naming The names Yarrabing Secondary College and Dharra School were chosen following consultation with the community. Dharra is a Woi-wurrung word of the Wurundjeri people, meaning white hawk. Yarrabing is a Woi-wurrung word of the Wurundjeri people, meaning white gum. The VSBA consulted with local Traditional Owners, represented by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation, to endorse the design of the new schools. The sites include local Indigenous plantings, cultural stories and histories, translations of Indigenous words and other design elements, which will enhance the cultural education and understanding of the students.
