Bio
Kate is an Arrente Woman from central Australia. She, along with her partner, foster two children and have been fostering since 2011. She is a passionate Middle School teacher at Centralian Middle School in Alice Springs. Kate’s goal in life is to have a positive impact on Indigenous Education especially in her home town of Alice Springs. Over the past year and a half she has been working hard to develop a strong leadership program for the student leaders at Centralian Middle School as it her belief that she is helping shape the leaders of tomorrow. She has also had the privilege and opportunity to participate in the Classic Wallabies Exchange in South Africa where she worked with 10 other Indigenous Australians to build an Eco village and refurbish a classroom. Kate hopes that through her involvement in such programs she can not only inspire the kids in her care to aspire to see the world and make a difference but the children she teaches as well.
