2025 Aboriginal Professional Development for Staff













Here are some highlights from our staff:
“Bush Foods with Djuker Hart was a culinary journey into First Nations peoples' relationship with native ingredients and seasonal foods”.
“We were given insight to the healing properties of certain ingredients and how they can be used to enhance the flavours of different foods”.
“Leroy Hart led us on a journey of discovery. Discovering the hidden aspects of kununyi, discovering our connections with one another and discovering how the natural world connects with our curriculum”.
“Trish and Mathius went through the rich history and timeline of Tasmanian Aboriginal people".
“nita education led us through a walk on country to learn about native bush foods and the healing properties of country”.
