Want to embed Indigenous perspectives in meaningful, authentic ways — but not sure where to start?

MANSW, in collaboration with Australians Together, invites you to a powerful professional learning experience designed to build confidence, understanding, and practical classroom strategies for embedding Indigenous pedagogies across your teaching practice and school culture.

📅 Monday 22 June 2026
📍 MANSW HQ, Silverwater

This course goes beyond awareness. Through real-world examples, guided reflection, and practical planning tools, participants will explore how to:
✔ Build culturally responsive teaching practices
✔ Embed Indigenous perspectives authentically — not as an add-on
✔ Engage respectfully with Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing
✔ Strengthen curriculum planning and classroom practice with confidence
Suitable for teachers, leaders, curriculum coordinators, and educators at any stage of their journey.

Together, we can create classrooms where Indigenous perspectives are embedded with purpose, respect, and impact.

MANSW is currently seeking volunteer leaders for several of our Special Interest Groups (SIGs):
🔹 Early Career Teachers SIG
🔹 Out-of-Field Teachers SIG
🔹 Leaders SIG

Our SIGs provide a valuable opportunity for teachers to connect, collaborate, share ideas, and support one another in their professional journeys. Whether you are passionate about mentoring early career teachers, supporting colleagues teaching mathematics out-of-field, or leading conversations around mathematics leadership, we would love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the mathematics education community, grow your professional network, and help shape meaningful support for teachers across NSW.

If you are interested in volunteering as a SIG leader, please contact Miriam Lees at [email protected]
