The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this third conversation of Series Thirteen, we talk with Lucy Amon - Indigenous Programs Coordinator, MLC Kew Campus. Lucy is an educator, First Nations person and mother. As a proud Noonuccal woman from Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), she has dedicated her 10 years in the secondary education setting to creating culturally empowered schools. Over the past 5 years as the Indigenous Programs Co-Ordinator at MLC, she has driven curriculum change with alignment to ACARA's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Cross Curriculum Priority, developed a school environment that focuses on cultural celebration as well as safety, and advocates for the young Aboriginal students enrolled at the College. Since having a daughter of her own, Lucy's aspiration is to create a classroom that her daughter's Aboriginality is seen, embraced, and one where she can thrive.
