Noongar News from our AIEO

Kaya Wandjoo

Welcome back everyone. I’m so excited to be part of the team again this year (unfortunately you can’t get rid of me that easily!)

I would like to thank all staff for participating so positively in our Aboriginal Cultural Standards Framework presentation at our Development Day. Listening and learning from you all has given me some great ideas for our students. I hope that you all now have some key resources and skills to assist you in the learning environments for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students and implementing Aboriginal content into the curriculum. Please feel free to send me an email if you need to discuss further.

I’m very excited to have Asharie here this year, our Follow the Dream Coordinator, increasing our students’ skills and confidence to take on academic challenges and be successful in their chosen paths. I encourage you to make contact with Asharie and be part of the academic success for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

I will be starting my planning early for our NAIDOC events this year and I loved the comment at our PD, to make NAIDOC celebrations a week-long event. If anyone would like to be part of the planning, I would really appreciate it! Or just send me an email for ideas!

I look forward to working with you all in 2022!
