​

I’m incredibly proud of the mobilisation of MC’s leaders over the past 4 years. This work, via collaborations with Future Schools, the AIS Leadership Centre and the Stanford d.school, has resulted in real and sustained progression towards our aspiration to co-evolve a new exemplar of future-focused schooling which contributes to the transformation of global education.

MC understands the powerful lever for real and sustained change in schools that exists at the intersection of Adaptive Cultures, Adaptive Leadership, and Design Thinking. Through our various collaborations, both locally and internationally, we would like to position our school to support other schools on a similar journey regardless of their sector or setting.

From 100 students in a single school, it’s such an honour to be working directly with 15000+ students and 2500+ educators in 2023. I am most proud of the young people we work with and the legacy of their innovative ideas. Young people like Chloe Alley, and Makayla Finch who are literally bending the future; one youth-led idea at a time.

​

We know that young people (and old people!) need future capabilities (21st Century Skills / General Capabilities / 4 C’s – or whatever we’re calling them today) such as creativity, project management and adaptive mindset to thrive in work and life, but our system has not taken the time to focus on how we teach these skills. It’s all good and well to ‘mark’ students on these skills based on teacher observation and pop them in a learner profile, but how do we build them; empowering young people with the agency and ownership to drive their own growth and development.

I am proud of the impact that The Art of Teaching Podcast has had. I am committed to all teachers, being able to access free world-class professional learning from some of the best minds in education and leadership.

​

What is the next big impact that you would like to see and/or lead in education over the next 5 years?

​

I would like to democratise and personalise professional learning. I think we need a more tailored and individualised approach to teacher training. World-class teacher professional learning should be accessible to all regardless of your location, educational sector or teacher training budget.

As co-founder of Future Schools, I'm proud of the collaborative professional network we've formed with innovative leaders from 100+ schools and supporting mutual growth. Establishing the Constellation, an alliance of ten of the world’s most innovative schools, has amplified our impact. Mentoring emerging future-focused educational leaders has been my personal highlight.

​

In the next five years, my goal is to develop and scale a model of innovative Learning Hubs. Operating on a school-within-a-school model or as standalone learning communities, they will support the development of student-empowered, adult-supported learning communities that enable all young people and their Guides to experience a fulfilling education.

I am proud that I have ‘led by example’, embodying lifelong learning, embracing discomfort, and constantly seeking personal growth. Also, the way I have focused on empowering and supporting teachers and leaders (both within our school and beyond) to believe in themselves and reach their fullest potential.

​

What is the next big impact that you would like to see and/or lead in education over the next 5 years?

​

My next big impact is building upon what I've been doing - strengthening the leadership capabilities of our remarkable team in our newly-opened school, fostering an enduring positive culture that leads to success for all, and sharing this knowledge extensively in order to positively influence the wider education system.

When I first learned of 42, I believed it represented what KIK Innovation strives to achieve but at a global scale. 42 is ‘altruism’ brought into reality. Starting my career as a social worker and then as I moved into education, entrepreneurship, and business, I was still searching for solutions that removed some of the greatest barriers to education for young people (and all). 42 is a great solution to unlocking the potential in anyone.

​

I would love to see 42 in most states in Australia and be recognised as the best institution for training diverse talent. I feel 42 and its approach to learning can also provide a vehicle for schools to support their students to learn tech from an early age. We really need to work hard on the 'T' in STEM, if we are to prepare young people for the world of work.
