  • Bambi Childcare, Geraldton Primary School OSCH

    "A heartfelt thankyou to Maresa (with support from Karina) for leading such an enriching experience.

    Your acknowledgement of country was truly special and your yarn about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags was true enlightening!

    The rock painting demonstration was a hit! The children had a blast expressing their creativity while learning about the flags significance!

    We loved our colouring with Nardurna activities. It was a wonderful way for everyone to engage and connect.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us."

    corporate and incentive markets. Starwin was also very active in our local areas assisting other young Indigenous people to get into
    tourism and the retail industry and offered paid and on the job training to acceptable participants. I support Starwin in any future endeavours they undertake as they are positive and always active in the
    communities they work in."

We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on the land we live, work and play. Especially the Southern Yamatji traditional custodians and community elders where we have a presence. We also acknowledge the many other elders and leaders who have shared their culture and stories and inspire us. We follow their lead and appreciate and advocate for the caring for country, kids and community. The origin of these concepts, being that Indigenous people were the first innovators, makers and creators and have led the way for us all to do better for generation after generation since the Dreamtime.
