ACEO and First Nations connections
Niina Marni! I am Westport’s Aboriginal Community Education Officer (ACEO). I am a proud Ngarrindjeri woman from the Lower Murray, Eastern FluerieuÂ
I have been working at Westport Primary School for 4 years. My role as an ACEO is to work alongside staff in the implementation of Aboriginal Cultural Studies and Aboriginal perspectives within the curriculum. I also contribute to Individual Learning Plans and work closely with families. I support our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families by establishing and maintaining positive relationships. The best part of my role however, is working with all Westport students who celebrate my culture daily.
