Educators Feedback:

"There were so many amazing ideas shared throughout the webinar. As a team we reflected after the session discussing what we do already and how we could make changes to our program." Maree Maurer

"I feel a lot more confident embedding Indigenous culture into my curriculum now and I am particularly looking forward to telling stories outdoors using marks, rather than relying on the actual book. The children will gain so much from these experiences." Catherine Turbill

"From the training I have been able to see different perspectives and simple things I can do, to embed this more authentically into my program" Nicola Walker

"The feedback from my teams has been awesome. Everyone learnt so much and we are all excited today about what’s next for us. I could have listened to you talk about your Aboriginal culture for hours and hours. So interesting. Thank you again." Malina Newman
