In this episode of Around the School Table (www.xuno.com.au/podcasts), Lisa Burt joins host Steve Davis to explore how inclusive leadership reshapes learning within a small school setting. As principal of Knox Central Primary School (www.knoxcentral.vic.edu.au), she leads a school community of 74 students and demonstrates how relationships, predictability and calm environments support every learner. From the outset, Lisa explains how her move from a large suburban school to Knox Central changed her approach to leadership. With fewer staff layers, she is often the person who responds when challenges arise. However, this close connection means families and students see her as approachable and available. Her daily walk through each classroom builds trust and reinforces a strong sense of community. Because Lisa also teaches PE, students see her as both principal and active participant in school life. This relatability helps families who previously felt uncertain about school to re-engage with confidence. Her visible presence also supports staff wellbeing, as teachers know she understands the pressures of the classroom. The discussion turns to inclusive classrooms, where predictable routines and structured spaces help students, especially those with autism, feel secure. Daily schedules, quiet zones and Schoolwide Positive Behaviours create a consistent and supportive learning environment. Literacy improvement is another key focus. After discovering gaps in early reading skills, the school adopted explicit phonics instruction and tools like DIBELS. As a result, students develop phonemic awareness and reading confidence, while teachers gain clearer data to guide instruction. Technology also supports personalised learning at Knox Central. Google Classroom, Mathletics and Reading Eggs allow teachers to tailor tasks and help students practise skills beyond school hours. Finally, Lisa reflects on funding, perception and the unique strengths of boutique schools. She highlights the importance of reframing “small schools” as environments rich in connection, opportunity and individual support. This episode offers practical ideas for leaders and teachers seeking to strengthen inclusion and rethink what small schools can achieve.

After nearly 17 years of marriage, David and Lisa Campbell decided it was time to embark on a passion project that would fulfil each of them in a very specific way. So they launched a podcast, one devoted to the legacy of Jane Austen. Lisa, a theatre producer and casting director, has been an Austen devotee for her entire adult life. Today Extra co-host and entertainer David, meanwhile, only recently picked up Pride And Prejudice for the first time. Into The Austenverse blends pop culture, literature and the unique rhythms of their enduring marriage, with plenty of wit along the way.

This week we’re unpacking the wild rise of Elle Ray because she’s literally EVERYWHERE right now: red carpets, TikTok, award shows, hosting, concerts, flights every second day ✈️
There’s a part of growth no one talks about — the fire before the glow up.That uncomfortable season where everything feels messy, heavy, and unclear.The part where you’re questioning who you are, what you want, and what’s next. But what if nothing is going wrong?What if you’re being refined for the version of you that 2026 requires? In this powerful episode, Julie explores why the defining seasons of leadership often feel like grief, frustration, and transition. She unpacks why alignment rarely feels calm at the beginning, how to navigate the loneliness of growth, and what it truly means to lead yourself first. This isn’t about hustling harder.It’s about anchoring deeper. You’ll walk away with practical reflection prompts and self-leadership cues you can use right now to turn this fire into fuel for your next chapter. Key Themes Growth doesn’t always feel good — sometimes it feels like loss. Feeling “messy” often means you’re becoming more aligned, not less. Balance is outdated — anchored leadership is the new standard. Your next level requires self-trust, capacity, and boundaries. Reflection is the gateway to who you're becoming.

In this episode, I sit down with proud Meuram woman Lala Gutchen from Erub island in the Torres Strait — a language teacher, diver, and climate advocate whose life’s work is rooted in protecting Country. We met at the First Nations Clean Energy Summit on Kabi Kabi Country, where Lala shared her story about preserving language, culture, and Sea Country in the face of rising tides and corporate development. From teaching her people’s first language, Erub Mer, to giving evidence in court alongside her parents to defend her homeland, Lala reminds us that caring for Country isn’t just environmental work — it’s cultural survival. Together, we yarn about the Torres Strait 8, youth leadership, the importance of elders’ guidance, and how connection to Country keeps language alive. Lala’s words are powerful and grounding — a reminder that protecting the planet begins with listening to those who live closest to it.

When Sarah Davidson last joined Something To Talk About in 2023, she was in the midst of one of life’s hardest chapters – navigating pregnancy loss, uncertainty and hope. It was a raw and deeply human conversation that resonated with so many of our listeners. A year later, Sarah’s story took a beautiful turn. In 2024, she and her husband Nic welcomed their son, Teddy – and just a few months later, she appeared on Stellar’s Mother’s Day cover, cradling him in her arms. Two years on, Sarah’s life looks completely different. She’s a business owner, content creator and mum, redefining what ambition and balance really look like in this season of life. From rebuilding identity after loss to rediscovering purpose through motherhood, Sarah shares how she’s learnt to bounce forward – in her career, her creativity and her sense of self. We also talk about her viral public speaking hacks, how she’s managed to build a troll-free online community of over 100,000 followers, and why she’s never been more driven – or more grounded – than she is today.

We’ve been sharing this podcast with you all for almost six years now. It all began as Separate Bathrooms, and as it grew, we grew. And it transformed intoThe Heart Of It. The new name felt right, it captured the tone, depth, and connection we share with our incredible guests each week. It has been an amazing ride, full of laughter, learning, and heartfelt conversations. And now, it feels like the right moment to pause, recharge, and reflect on just how far we’ve come. So, we’re taking a short hiatus into 2026. This isn’t goodbye. It’s just a little pit stop while life catches up and we take a moment to smell the roses.
