Alicia Morgan
Alicia Morgan has always had a passion for what is dear to her heart – family, research and education.
After leaving high school Alicia spent most of her young adulthood in the workforce before recently returning to study full-time at Southern Cross University.\
As a third generation descendant of a prominent South Sea Islander family on the Tweed, Alicia has always continued to honour and uphold the strong family values that were instilled in her from a young age.
Listening and taking note of the many stories and traditions that were passed down by Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, was something of great interest to her and she continues to ensure her own children learn and take pride in their own unique cultural heritage.
The love of discovering more about her South Sea Islander heritage has taken Alicia on a new journey in the field of Education. In her third year of a teaching degree, Alicia hopes to use education as a powerful vehicle for informing the younger generations how the South Sea islanders came to Australia and the reasons why.
With an invitation to do her Honours in Education, Alicia hopes to use this as an opportunity to create curriculum resources focused on Australian South Sea Islanders, that can be implemented and taught in schools on the Tweed.
