Description

Every great school leader we’ve spoken to has one thing in common - they make people feel like they belong. Some do it with energy and fun, others with quiet kindness, but the impact is the same. Stronger schools and happier people. 


In this episode, we’re joined by Mark Allen. Mark shows us how opening up the school to the community, being present each day, and making time for joy and connection can transform the way people feel about their local school. 


Whether it’s a morning smile, a conversation at the gate, or working alongside parents and leveraging P&C meetings, Mark shares how schools can become places where everyone feels welcome and where the whole community has a role to play. 


A big thank you to the NSWPPA, our learning partner in this podcast.
