The choices we make in education today shape the workforce thirty years from now. In this episode Michelle Parry-Slater speaks with Jeff Davis, Executive Head at Hillcrest Christian College on the Gold Coast and author of Leading the Learning Revolution, about what happens when a school decides to turn education on its head.
From teaching curriculum on Coolangatta Beach to a framework of six secret skills that prepare students for a world of AI and rapid change, Jeff argues that character, service and emotional intelligence are not extras. They are the curriculum. This conversation challenges common assumptions about what schooling is for, explores whole person teaching that blends academic knowledge with purpose and resilience, and surfaces practical ideas for L&D and HR professionals wondering why great candidates are so hard to find and what might change if education did.
