‘The Geelong FORUM has really been the most wonderful way to develop as a teacher - not only being a student and then understanding more of where the students come from, but also developing all those skills.... from kite making to felting to bead making and sublimation - almost everything has ended up in my classroom as part of the curriculum. And attending all those Geelong Forums has made me the teacher I am today with so much versatility in what I can do and offer’.”
Linda Gallus, Textiles teacher at Geelong College.
