Wangka Maya Farewells Raylene
Wangka Maya's wonderful cultural awareness trainer, Raylene Gordon, has taken up an offer of employment with a mining company, and so leaves the Wangka Maya family. Raylene has worked for many years as the Wangka Maya CAT trainer and Kariyarra language specialist. We are very sad to see her go, but great employment offers are hard to pass up. Raylene leaves the CAT team in good shape with many bookings for 2008. Other staff will take the opportunity to step into the role of CAT trainer. We wish Raylene all the very best in her new role.
