Extract

To go into an isolated Aboriginal community as the only teacher requires very careful preparation and demands a unique type of individual. However, out of the challenge of the situation can develop warm and lasting friendships and the arrival at the position where the school is a key point in the community, playing a vital role in the growth of the locality and the individuals in it. The teacher must initiate the effort to develop sound relations and the best place to start is in the classroom.
