A Note Before You ListenThis conversation is a gentle, practical one about trust and belonging. It also acknowledges honestly that not every school, and not every person, will feel safe — and that being careful about where you place your trust is wise. Please listen at your own pace. Support services are listed at the end of these notes.Episode OverviewTrust is not built in a day. It is built in small moments. In this seventh snippet of our Walking Together series, Naomi Greaves and Narelle explore what it means to build your village at school — one safe person, one safe conversation at a time.Naomi begins with unconditional positive regard: a community that values whatever you bring, rather than setting conditions on belonging. She reminds us that rebuilding trust in a whole system starts with just one person, and that genuine welcome is more than an open door — it is going to people, asking questions safely, and believing the answers, even when they are not what we hoped to hear. Woven through is an honest permission: villages must be built around the people in them, not done to them — and if a village is not serving you, you are allowed to take your time, be discerning, or leave.In This Snippet• Unconditional positive regard — valuing whatever people bring, rather than setting conditions on belonging• One person is enough to begin — trust in a system starts with one safe person, one safe conversation, one small interaction at a time• More than an open door — going to people, asking questions safely, and being genuinely open to answers that may not align with what we hoped to hear• Who defines safety? — cultural safety is defined by those who feel unsafe, not by those who hold the power; if someone says they feel unsafe, we believe them• Built around people, not for them — co-designing and co-constructing belonging with people, never doing it to them• The bravery reconciliation asks of us — reconciliation asks non-Indigenous people to reflect bravely on themselves and the systems that support them, and to be willing to shift• Permission to be careful — not every school or person will be safe; take your time, be discerning about where you place your trust, and know you can leave a village that is not serving youA Question to Sit WithEach snippet in this series offers one gentle question. There is no right answer, and no rush.“Who is one person — at school or in your community — who feels safe? What makes them feel that way?”Quotable Moments“It really is unconditional positive regard. Whatever you bring, we value that — rather than “this is what you need to bring to be a part of our community.””— Naomi Greaves“Building trust in the system starts with just one person. One safe person in a school, or one safe conversation. It’s the baby steps.”— Naomi Greaves“It’s more than just an open door policy. It’s about going to people, asking questions safely, and being open to the answers that you hear.”— Naomi Greaves“Cultural safety can’t be defined by the oppressive race. It needs to be defined by the people who are feeling culturally unsafe. And if they say they are feeling unsafe, we have to believe that.”— Naomi Greaves“Building a village is not about building a village and saying, “Come to it.” It’s about building it around the people that are a part of it.”— Naomi Greaves“Reconciliation is going to take non-Indigenous people being really brave — to reflect on themselves and the systems that support them, and to be willing to shift.”— Naomi Greaves“We listen with our eyes, our ears, and our heart.”— Narelle Lemon“Trust isn’t built in a day. It’s built in small moments.”— Narelle LemonQuotes have been lightly edited for clarity while preserving the speaker’s meaning and voice.About Naomi GreavesNaomi Greaves is a proud Torres Strait Islander woman and school principal. Her leadership is grounded in compassion, restorative practice and a deep commitment to walking alongside families and community. Through her own education journey — and the discovery of her own neurodiversity and that of her children — Naomi has become a passionate advocate for inclusivity in schools and for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. She leads with the belief that trust is earned through truth-telling, reciprocity and genuine relationship.About the Walking Together SeriesWalking Together is a series of She Snippets — short, honest reflections created in partnership between She Speaks and Naomi Greaves. Across the series, Naomi and Narelle explore restorative practice, rebuilding trust between families and schools, cultural safety, and what it means to be partners rather than problems. The series begins with validation: your caution makes sense, and you deserve to be seen and believed. From there, each snippet gently opens a door to what could be ...
