Story<br />
Barbara Dalgetty lives in Geraldton, Western Australia. She is an <strong>Aboriginal</strong><br />
who has lived in Australia all of her life. Barbara works at a primary school. Her<br />
role is <strong>Aboriginal</strong> Education Worker. This means Barbara works with <strong>Aboriginal</strong><br />
children, helping them with their learning.<br />
Barbara also works with the parents and tells them how their children are doing<br />
at school. Barbara supports the teacher by gathering important information<br />
about the <strong>Aboriginal</strong> culture and passing this on to the teacher. A special time<br />
at most schools is Naidoc Week. This is when the whole school and community<br />
participate in different activities based on the <strong>Aboriginal</strong> culture, such as painting,<br />
singing, dancing and cooking.<br />
