I am a dedicated Aboriginal Education and Welfare professional working in a Non-Teaching SASS role within the school system. My focus is on supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through education, wellbeing, and cultural connection.

With experience in developing and implementing Personal Learning Plans (PLPs), coordinating student support, and working closely with families, staff, and community organisations, I ensure students are empowered both academically and personally. I play a key role in fostering cultural awareness, engagement, and inclusion across the school environment.

My work includes:

• Student wellbeing and welfare support

• Academic support planning and tracking

• Family and community engagement

• Promoting Aboriginal cultural education and inclusion

• Liaising between students, staff, and external services

I am passionate about creating safe, supportive, and culturally inclusive environments where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students can thrive.
