Lucy Pitkin is the Dean of Indigenous Education and a teacher of Agriculture. She has taught in various educational settings over the last 11 years, including schools in rural areas and in schools on Sydney’s western fringe. It was here that Lucy’s passion for supporting students from diverse backgrounds really grew. She is responsible for the continued implementation, review and development of the School’s Indigenous education strategies in the Secondary School. Lucy works with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations to improve access to education for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students, and to develop the understanding of and commitment to reconciliation of non- Indigenous students and teachers. She also works to implement and support the continued best practice in Indigenous education at Barker, including assisting teachers to bring Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and perspectives into their classroom. Through continued involvement in external research projects and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander education networks, and close relationships with Community, Lucy is able to support staff to continue to develop their teaching practice in a culturally responsive way
