When Tradition Meets Innovation | A change management case study
Update: 2025-11-12
Description
How do schools reimagine long held traditions for modern contexts? Dr Adrian Camm and Teagan Collins share the story of Westbourne Grammar’s shift from chapel and chaplaincy to a philosophy led program called Echoes and Dialogues.
They reveal the tension, stakeholder engagement, and data informed reflection behind this change, and how leadership humility and philosophical dialogue create belonging and critical thinking.
You’ll learn:
- How to evaluate which traditions still serve your purpose.
- How to involve staff, students, and families in change.
- Why decoupling religion from wellbeing can open space reflection.
- How philosophy builds ethical, articulate future leaders.
A thought-provoking case study in courageously leading reform while protecting community identity.
