Reconciliation is my responsibility. I respect and listen to the land, wind, and rivers where we play on Yaggara and Yugambeh speaking peoples' country.
I strive to embed everyday respect for our community's Elders, past, present and young First Nations leaders of today, becoming Elders in the future.
Young Jarjums of all backgrounds and abilities are welcomed and valued in my programs.
