“Joining Kylie Captain’s Excellence in Aboriginal Education Community has been incredibly energising and inspiring for myself and my colleagues, offering the time and space to engage with experts in Aboriginal Education, develop cultural competence, and enhance student learning and wellbeing in meaningful ways.
The Community provides access to professional learning experiences, curricular and co-curricular resources, and opportunities to engage with like-minded colleagues, all of which support teachers in embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures authentically. We have been deeply touched by Kylie’s genuine passion, contagious enthusiasm, and powerful leadership, which continue to empower us to make meaningful change as leaders in our classrooms and schools.”
