Meaningful Aboriginal Education

Helping schools build confidence, infuse Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander perspectives and create learning experiences that honour First Peoples.

Designed for schools ready to move beyond tokenism and create meaningful change.

Practical professional learning. Curriculum support. Student experiences.

Your teachers want to do this well.

We help them get there.

Many educators want to infuse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives but aren't always sure where to start.

They worry about getting it wrong, relying on resources without context, or only engaging with Aboriginal perspectives during key dates.

Lineh works alongside schools to build confidence, knowledge and practical strategies that can be used every day in classrooms.

Because meaningful Aboriginal education should be achievable for every teacher.

Practical support for real schools

Why schools work with Lineh

More than a workshop. A pathway towards lasting change.

Schools choose Lineh because our approach is:

Practical


No overwhelming theory. Teachers leave knowing what they can do next.

Tailored


Every school has a different context, community and starting point.

Relationship Focused


Meaningful Aboriginal education is built through listening, learning and connection.

Classroom Connected


Strategies are designed by an educator who understands the realities of teaching.

Meet Brooke

An educator walking alongside schools

Kaya! (Hello)

I'm Brooke Cuthbertson, a proud Palawa woman, educator and founder of Lineh.

For almost a decade, I have worked alongside schools across Western Australia, supporting educators to develop confidence in Aboriginal education.

Alongside my consultancy work, I am a qualified primary school teacher. I also lecture future teachers at university, supporting the next generation of educators to understand their role in creating culturally responsive classrooms.

I know that many teachers want to do this work well.

My role is to make the pathway clearer, practical and achievable.

What teachers and school leaders are saying

  • “From the moment the session started, Brooke created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere… The training session was fun and engaging, incorporating a variety of games and activities tailored to be both informative and specific to our early childhood setting. I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough for professional development sessions.”

    - Kim Sanford (Early Childhood Educator)

  • “Brooke delivers the perfect balance between informative and authentic storytelling… I’ve never seen teachers that engaged or having taken such a mountain of notes before! She gave us a new standard to reach for when it comes to fostering First Nations perspectives in schools… We walked away with practical tips, woven through stories of ancestry and Aboriginal history.”

    - Jessica Mason (Wellness Coach for Teachers)

  • “Brooke is a genuine and engaging culturally responsive teacher who understands the importance of making all students feel seen and heard… Her kind, gentle and non judgemental approach is exactly what is needed to develop culturally reflexive and relational practitioners across schools.”

    - Renae Isaacs-Guthridge (University Lecturer)

  • “Brooke’s authenticity and knowledgeable approach have allowed her to plan and execute meaningful and engaging, on-Country experiences for both our students and staff… She has adapted the content to suit all ages and worked collaboratively to bring this knowledge and understanding both into the classroom and out into the community.”

    - Rob La Roche (School Principal)

  • "I wanted to extend my sincere thanks for facilitating the professional learning session at our school. The feedback from staff has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the value of the learning and the practical insights they gained. Hearing such positive feedback from staff has reinforced the impact of your work. We have greatly valued the opportunity to work with you and would welcome future opportunities to collaborate. Your expertise aligns strongly with the work we are continuing to develop, and I am keen to explore ways we might work together again in the future. Thank you again for sharing your expertise with our staff. We greatly appreciate the time and effort you invested in supporting our team."
