A Note Before You ListenThis conversation reflects on feeling dismissed, talked at, or unheard in school settings — experiences that may feel close to home for some listeners. It also speaks to the history and power of systems in conversations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. Please listen gently, and take whatever time you need. Support services are listed at the end of these notes.Episode OverviewWhen was the last time someone at a school really listened to you? In this fourth snippet of our Walking Together series, Naomi Greaves and Narelle turn to voice — the quiet power of being heard, and what it takes for schools to genuinely listen to parents and carers rather than talk at them.Naomi shares what she does when an angry parent walks into her office — stop, breathe, and listen for what is really being said — and reminds us that the parent who never comes in is telling us something too. She challenges the idea that families need to learn to advocate “better”, inviting schools instead to reshape what advocacy is allowed to look like. Because advocating for your child does not require fancy language or a position of power. It just requires somebody listening to you.In This Snippet• Listening behind the presentation — hearing what sits behind anger, and what silence is saying too• Whose way of speaking counts? — how systems reward a particular way of speaking and being, and what leaders can do to shift the space so every family is validated however they present• Reclaiming advocacy — advocacy does not require fancy language or power; it requires being listened to• Meeting families where they are — if the office is not a safe space, the principal comes out of the office• Connecting before the crisis — building relationships early, in moments of celebration and connection, not only when there is a problem• The weight behind the conversation — recognising the power and history of the system that sits behind every conversation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander familiesA Question to Sit WithEach snippet in this series offers one gentle question. There is no right answer, and no rush.“When was the last time someone at a school really listened to you? What made the difference?”Quotable Moments“To be an advocate for your kids doesn’t require fancy language. It doesn’t require a position of power. It just requires somebody listening to you.”— Naomi Greaves“If an angry parent comes into my office, my first practice is to stop and breathe and not react to their anger, but to try to hear what they’re actually saying to me.”— Naomi Greaves“The same thing is true for the parent who never comes into my office — because they’re telling us something as well.”— Naomi Greaves“If that space isn’t my office, then I need to come out of my office and find what that space is for people.”— Naomi Greaves“We shouldn’t be looking for ways to help parents advocate better, but to reshape what we understand as advocacy. A parent advocating for their kid doesn’t always look the same way.”— Naomi Greaves“It’s not always about the problems. It’s also about the celebrations, the appreciations, the joyous 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 different.If This Conversation Brings Things Up for You• 13YARN — 13 92 76 (24/7) — crisis support run by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people• Lifeline — 13 11 14 (24/7) — crisis support and suicide prevention for all Australians• Beyond Blue — 1300 22 4636 (24/7) — mental health support and informationConnect With Us• Catch up on Snippets 1 to 3 of the Walking Together series to hear where ...
