Reflective Journal

What was your personal motivation behind participating in this project?

Pauline Streckfuss

I was asked to participate in this project because I am an Aboriginal person, as well as a Science teacher and I thought it was a good opportunity to teach children about Aboriginal culture.

Sue Lockwood

The school where I work has a high percentage of Aboriginal students, and I really have a genuine interest in Aboriginal culture, so I'm always keen to find out some more.
