Shirley is an Australian Indigenous teacher at Heatley State School in Townsville with 32 years’ experience. She is proud to help all students to reach their goals.
"Being an Indigenous teacher means to me that I can empower children in primary schools, no matter who they are or how they feel, or especially if they’re Aboriginal, that they can reach their goals."
If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander who wants to help children reach their goals, there are pathways and programs that can help you to reach yours.
