The Principal’s Perspective, with Dr Adrian Camm and Teagan Collins – Episode 14
What happens when a school decides to move from traditional chaplaincy activities to philosophy?
In this episode of The Principal’s Perspective, Dr Adrian Camm and Teagan Collins talk about how Westbourne Grammar transformed an almost 160-year tradition.
Echoes and Dialogues is a contemporary philosophy program that replaced chaplaincy with rigorous, inclusive inquiry. In this episode they talk about honouring heritage while evolving practice, involving stakeholders in courageous change, and designing a program that aligns to community context, equity, and student voice.
