Profile of Simon Hatji

About me

I am an arts educator and multidisciplinary artist passionate about storytelling and the role of the arts in supporting children's well-being through creative expression. My teaching experience spans primary, secondary and tertiary education, beginning as an Aboriginal Education Teacher before coordinating arts-based programs with Aboriginal children and families across multiple schools. I have taught arts education at UniSA for seven years before commencing with Adelaide University and also bring experience as an educator with Nature Play SA. As an artist trained in visual arts and multimedia, I have worked across music production, performance and community arts. My practice includes experience in Artist-in-Residence roles and running a creative arts business delivering in-school workshops focused on songwriting and media arts.
