Join me as I interview Rosie Paine, a proud Yilka Noongar Yamatji woman, and passionate educator as she shares her life and leadership story with us. Rosie talks about her experiences growing up learning from elders on her land and how this eventually led her to become an award-winning teacher and current school deputy.

In our conversation, Rosie describes the importance of a strong cultural identity . She goes on to describe the different leadership styles she's encountered and how they contribute to creating a culturally safe and inclusive educational environment.
We discuss reconciliation and cultural safety in schools, topics Rosie knows well as both an Indigenous woman and educational leader. Rosie bravely shares stories of facing racism and the ongoing struggle for true reconciliation, emphasizing the courage needed for social justice and the importance of allies and open conversations.
Through Rosie's personal story, we learn about the power of embracing one's identity during difficult times. She also talks about mentorship and sponsorship in professional development, showing how authentic leadership is nurtured.
We touch on Rosie's life outside of education, where art provides her solace. This shows us how cultural connections can profoundly impact educators and students.
