Aboriginal educators graduate through RATE program
Six Aboriginal educators from Territory schools have recently completed their education qualifications through the Remote Aboriginal Teacher Education (RATE) program.
Congratulations on the completion of their studies to:
- JoAnne Bayalawuy Thorne (Shepherdson College) - Diploma of Education Studies, and progressing to the second year of a Bachelor of Education Primary
- Kellyann Daly, Sharon Daly, Nadine Day and Chrysilla Miller (Woolianna School) - Undergraduate Certificate Remote Educators, and progressing to a Diploma of Education Studies
- Joy Hampton (Tennant Creek Primary School) - Undergraduate Certificate Remote Educators, and progressing to a Diploma of Education Studies
- Sylvette Maralwuy (Milingimbi School) - Certificate III Early Childhood Education and Care, and progressing to a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care.
These Aboriginal educators have an ongoing commitment to their communities and are highly-valued leaders because of their deep understanding of local education contexts.
They are essential in achieving the departments’ key priorities of building an expert education workforce and improving cultural responsiveness.
A range of entry and exit points, as well as opportunities to celebrate every step towards achieving full teaching qualifications, are built into the RATE pathway.
