Many staff were able to attend the cultural awareness training with the Koorie Heritage Trust over the last couple of months. A couple more sessions will soon be scheduled in the new year.

The Indigenous Curriculum Taskforce would like to offer an informal brown bag lunch conversation as a follow up to the training. This is an opportunity to chat with colleagues about your experiences, ask any follow up questions and chat to members of the Indigenous Curriculum Taskforce about what you found most useful and what further learning you would like to embark on.

The last session will take place next week:
