Andre Casson joins Around the School Table (xuno.com.au/podcasts) for an audio conversation with host Steve Davis. Andre is the Headmaster of Brisbane Boys’ College (bbc.qld.edu.au), and he brings a science teacher’s lens to leadership. Moreover, his experience spans Australia, the UK, and international schools in Asia. Firstly, Andre reflects on preparation and opportunity. He shares how unexpected doors can open in education. However, he also explains why readiness matters most. In addition, he encourages teachers to embrace growth and cultural learning when working abroad. The discussion then turns to boys’ learning and school design. Andre explains why many boys need movement to think well. Therefore, learning spaces at Brisbane Boys’ College are designed for collaboration and flexibility. For example, breakout areas support group work and active tasks. He also shares a simple lesson on states of matter, using physical movement to build understanding. Importantly, Andre highlights the value of sport and physical activity. Brisbane Boys’ College continues physical education into Years 11 and 12. As a result, students keep building teamwork, resilience, and self-control. Meanwhile, co-curricular programs create more ways to belong and thrive. Relationships sit at the centre of Andre’s approach. He explains why authenticity matters with boys. Additionally, he outlines how staff are supported to build trust beyond the classroom. That includes coaching, presence, and everyday interest in students’ lives. The episode also explores inclusivity and respectful relationships. Andre describes a clear, structured curriculum that teaches consent and safe behaviours from the early years. Furthermore, he explains how culture is shaped through consistent modelling and correction. Finally, Andre breaks down the 6:1 positive-to-negative feedback ratio. He links it to research and daily practice. In particular, he shares how positive calls home can reinforce character. Over time, this approach supports “gentlemen of honour” through decency, accountability, and healthy vulnerability. Powered by: xuno.com.au.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We also talk about the latest trailers released this week, including Masters of the Universe and more. Then, in our TALK TOPIC of the WEEK, I will talk about the TRANSFORMER series you may not have known about, the hilariously awful English dub (not made in the U.S.) that has become a cult legend, and why fans should value the quality of English voice acting we have today.

Father Nathan Carr, Headmaster of The Academy and often dubbed “the Jack Sparrow of classical education,” joins Christopher Perrin to recount his unexpected path into classical Christian school leadership—and the hard-won lessons of building a flourishing school culture over two decades. Their conversation draws on James K. A. Smith's Desiring the Kingdom to argue that “liturgies” (in church and in culture) quietly train our loves and longings. Carr connects that insight to his own work, The Festive School, where he explores how a school's calendar, habits, and celebrations can become formative—not merely decorative. He also points listeners to his Student Prayer Book as a practical companion for cultivating daily, embodied prayer in the life of a classroom. From The Book of Common Prayer and the daily offices to monastic rhythms like Matins and Compline, he frames education as formation through repeated, prayerful practice. Along the way, they address objections to “rote” ritual, suggesting that repetition can become spiritually alive and deeply consoling over time. The episode closes with concrete snapshots of festivity at The Academy: Lessons & Carols, Stations of the Cross, and campus-wide celebrations of Incarnation and Resurrection. Father Nathan Carr also has a forthcoming course on ClassicalU.com that will release in the early Spring of 2026.

I'm honored to welcome a remarkable educator, communal builder, and gifted storyteller: Solly Kaplinski. Solly's journey stretches across continents, communities, and generations. He began his career as Headmaster of Herzlia High School in Cape Town, later leading Jewish day schools in Toronto and Vancouver — shaping thousands of students and leaving a lasting imprint on Jewish education. More than 25 years ago, he made Aliyah, where his professional path formed an extraordinary arc, touched by two institutions that sit at the very heart of the Jewish story. At Yad Vashem, working in the International Relations Department, Solly helped carry the weight of memory and meaning on behalf of Jewish communities around the world. And at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), he spent 17 years as Executive Director of Overseas Joint Ventures — building partnerships, strengthening Jewish life across continents, and nurturing connections that continue to echo today. Solly is also a writer. His novella A World of Pains: A Redemptive Parable? and his two moving volumes on donors and fundraisers — all available as free downloads at journeysintothegentleheart.com — reveal yet another dimension of his commitment to Jewish story, memory, and heart. Solly lives in Jerusalem with his wife, Arleen. Their three daughters — along with their spouses and what he lovingly calls an “egalitarian minyan” of grandchildren — all make their homes in Israel. It is truly a privilege to sit with someone whose life has been dedicated to education, service, remembrance, and the quiet, powerful work of building community. Solly Kaplinski — welcome to the show. ——

A survey of more than 30,000 of New Zealand's Year 10 students shows that the number of teens who vape regularly has dropped by half since it's peak in 2021. The number of teenagers who vape on a daily basis has also dropped from “peak vape” of 10.1% in 2022, to 7.1%. Auckland Grammar headmaster Tim O'Connor says he has noticed the shift but doesn't know what it can be attributed to. "I don't know what's going on to tell you the truth. I don't know whether it's us being more effective, or the messages happening, or if it's just random," he told Heather du Plessis-Allan.

In this episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble revisits Albus Dumbledore through a very different lens: not as the wise, whimsical Headmaster we grew up with, but as a leader whose incomplete understanding of power shaped an entire generation of Hogwarts students. Drawing on your survey responses about whether Dumbledore is a hero, a good leader of the Order of the Phoenix, or a “good half-blood,” Julian explores the moment when Tom Riddle returns to Hogwarts — a scene that reveals how Voldemort sees Dumbledore more clearly than Dumbledore sees himself.We examine why Dumbledore claims he “cannot be trusted with power,” while failing to recognize the influence he wields as Headmaster; why Hogwarts becomes the site where children, not adults, carry the heaviest burdens of the war; and how Dumbledore's belief that teaching is a “safe” or “lesser” form of authority leads to dangerous decisions with lasting consequences. This episode challenges the myth of the powerless educator and asks: What happens when a leader refuses to believe the hype everyone else believes about him?

In the first installment of our Albus Dumbledore series, Critical Magic Theory host Professor Julian Wamble unpacks the contradictions that define Albus Dumbledore—the most beloved and baffling figure in the Harry Potter universe. Is he truly a wise protector of Hogwarts, or a master manipulator whose brilliance excuses too much? Does being “for the greater good” make him noble, or merely dangerous in more elegant ways? We also ask whether Dumbledore embodies what it means to be a “good Gryffindor,” when courage so often borders on recklessness, and whether his leadership as Headmaster reflects moral strength or moral blindness.Drawing on listener surveys, we explore Dumbledore's manipulation, his mythology, and the uneasy parallels between him and Voldemort—two men shaped by power and haunted by restraint. In tracing how Dumbledore curates his own legend while hiding his flaws, we uncover how faith, myth, and morality intertwine in the wizarding world, and what it means to believe in someone after the evidence runs out.This episode of Critical Magic Theory invites us to see Dumbledore not just as the greatest wizard of his age, but as a mirror for our own longing to trust brilliance, even when we know it can break us.

On this episode of the Anchored Podcast, Soren is joined by Semi Park, founding Headmaster of Orange County Classical Academy.

“Be perfect” (Matt. 5:48) and “anxious for nothing” (Phil 4:6). This tall order from the New Testament may put modern parents into a cold sweat. Parental perfectionism and anxiety are surely on the rise, but in his annual Headmaster's Lecture at The Heights School, Alvaro de Vicente talks us down. He shows us the compatibility and wisdom of these two Biblical encouragements by refocusing on the process of growth—moral, academic, athletic, and spiritual—over simply the apparent results.

The art of mentoring is not just for teachers and coaches, but also parents—who can never really be out of mentoring mode. In a recent Substack article, Alvaro de Vicente named five pitfalls for our attempts at mentoring young men.

In this episode of the Growing Hearts podcast, we speak with Matt Aldous, Headmaster of Redfield College, about the deeper purpose of Catholic education. Matt reflects on how schools can be more than places of academic learning—they can become environments where students learn to encounter Christ in the ordinary moments of daily life.  Drawing on his experience as a teacher, leader, and parent, Matt shares insights into the habits and values that shape young people: love for prayer, the practice of confession, and the resilience to always begin again. He also highlights the vital role of parents, especially fathers, as spiritual leaders in the home, and how schools can complement this by offering opportunities for mentoring, sacraments, and personal growth.    Key Topics Discussed:  The deeper purpose of Catholic education: how schools can help students encounter Christ in the ordinary moments of daily life, beyond academics. Love for prayer and confession: why these habits are essential for resilience, humility, and spiritual growth in young people. The role of parents, especially fathers: the importance of consistency and spiritual leadership in the family home. Faith and freedom: how fostering personal choice helps students develop a genuine relationship with Christ. The school as a community for families: how shared wisdom, sacraments, and everyday practices strengthen both students and parents. Living with hope: encouraging students to see each day as a new opportunity to grow, begin again, and discover God in the ordinary.    Join the Conversation  We'd love to hear your reflections on this episode! Catholic education is more than academics—it's about helping young people discover God in the ordinary moments of daily life.   How have you seen schools support faith and character in your own family?  Have there been small, everyday practice at home or at school—that made a big difference in your child's faith journey?   How do you encourage consistency, prayer, or openness to God in your family life?  We also invite you to share stories of hope: times when you've seen young people rise above challenges, nurture a closer friendship with God, or simply take small steps that showed growth. These moments remind us that every new day is a fresh opportunity to begin again.  Join the conversation on our social media channels or leave a comment on our website. Together, let's inspire one another to nurture faith, resilience, and joy in the ordinary moments of family and school life.    You can:   Follow us on Instagram @growingheartspodcast   Find out more about the Pared Foundation: visit our website   Discover our schools by visiting: pared.edu.au/openday   Remember to hit SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW so you don't miss out on any of our future episodes  

South Africa's education system faces significant challenges, with Grade 5 pupils ranking last globally in mathematics and science, and an alarming 81% of children unable to read for meaning by age 10. Yet, Queen's College Boys' High School in Komani, where 94% of students are Xhosa-speaking, defies the odds in a province that lags behind its neighbour, the Western Cape. In an interview with BizNews, Headmaster Janse van der Ryst attributed the success of Queen's College to six pillars: daily excellence, upholding identity, active participation—where no one is allowed to sit out and everyone attends sports matches until the final whistle—mutual support, community service, and solution-finding. Van der Ryst, a former Boland cricketer, believes this blueprint could be replicated to improve education in the Eastern Cape and other rural areas, such as the Transkei.

Rejected by his own father and placed into care, Floyd's early life was marked by hardship, racism, and resilience.After discovering rugby, Floyd became the first Black captain of Saracens rugby club, rising through a sport where no one looked like him. Later, he became a respected headteacher (including of Tommy Stadlen & Cameron McLain's school!) an advocate for inclusion, and the man who first spotted the talent of a young Maro Itoje.This conversation discusses:Growing up in care and rough sleeping Breaking racial barriers in elite rugbyNurturing the next generation including England captain Maro ItojeWhy representation still mattersWhat it means to lead, and how you can be kind and decisive as a leaderFloyd was awarded an OBE for his services to education, rugby, and charity, but his real legacy lives in the lives he's changed.Building a purpose driven company?

Prior to being the man in charge of the Rookies Cup program, Clifford was a motojournalist who covered MotoGP before it was called MotoGP. He was also the team manager for Bob MacLean's World Championship Motorsports (WCM)  team that fielded such racers as Simon Crafar and John Hopkins. We caught up with Clifford at the Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas in Austin, Texas, recently to chat about that as well as MotoAmerica's new Parts Unlimited Talent Cup By Motul, and what the riders who get invited to the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup tryouts can expect.Support the show
