The Koori Curriculum 2027 Leadership Retreat - Uluru
An immersive 4-day experience for early childhood educators, leaders and consultants ready to deepen their practice and lead with cultural integrity.
Join us in 2027 for the next Koori Curriculum Leadership Retreat, designed for educators committed to embedding Aboriginal perspectives in meaningful, respectful, and practical ways.
Location: Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park
Why Attend?
This retreat is more than just professional development; it's your opportunity to build a supportive community of like-minded educators dedicated to making meaningful changes in their practice.
The strategies we share are adaptable and can be tailored to various contexts, ensuring you leave with practical tools that empower you and your communities.
What to Expect
Over four full days, you’ll experience a carefully curated program that balances deep cultural learning, collaborative professional discussions, and restorative time in nature and community.
Each element of the retreat is intentionally designed to nourish both your personal and professional growth. You'll walk alongside knowledge holders and cultural practitioners, engage in open and honest conversations with peers, and spend time on Country to connect with the land and its stories.
This unique blend of learning and reflection allows you to step away from the everyday demands of your role, reconnect with your vision, and return to your setting feeling re-energised, grounded, and equipped with practical tools to lead reconciliation work in your early learning service with integrity.
