This term I had the opportunity to attend the principal’s area meeting; I was invited by our KESO Michael to take part in a panel discussion about the first nations Aspiration Day I attended last year. I was excited to meet Chris Thompson regional director South West Victoria and Charles Branciforte the executive director of the department of education. I enjoyed sharing my ideas about my culture and how I would like to experience and see more cultural representation in our school. I liked meeting the other mob panel members from other schools that participated and it was a real highlight receiving a certificate of appreciation with them. I am looking forward to attending the first nations aspirations day again this year and I am hopeful that my suggestions and ideas will make the day even better this time around.
