Outback Teacher with Sally Gare

The year is 1956. Sally Gare is twenty. She's just out of teachers' college, and has been sent to work at a two-teacher school more than 3000 kilometres from Perth. With the head teacher away, she starts out alone with a class of forty-five Aboriginal children, ranging in age from five years to thirteen. Thus begins the career of a remarkable teacher and a life-changing adventure in remote Australia.

Come to the Local History Centre and hear Sally speak about her experiences in the far north of Western Australia, both the difficult and inspiring, and a life lived of focusing on positives and working with less to create more.

Light refreshments will be provided.
