Teachers take part in Connecting to Country course
Woy Woy Public School teachers Ms Whitney Williams and Ms Emily Bartlett have taken part in Connecting to Country "professional learning", delivered by the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group.
"The purpose of the program is for principals, teacher and all department staff to establish respectful relationships with aboriginal students, families and communities at a local level," said school principal Ms Ona Buckley.
"The program supports teachers to plan, develop and implement culturally inclusive programs, underpinned by productive pedagogy and practices whilst increasing child-student expectations and performance.
"Ms Williams and Ms Bartlett look forward to sharing this new knowledge with their colleagues and incorporating more aboriginal perspectives into the preschool and K-6 learning spaces."
