Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples.
Join Carmel Ybarlucea as she presents on how to create a school and be a leader, that is First Nations inclusive.
