    Episode #62 | Paul Campbell - 365 Days of Play: Bringing Wellbeing Home and to School
    2025/08/20
    In this episode with Paul Campbell, we dive into how play can transform school culture, enhance connectedness, and support both student and staff wellbeing. Drawing from his work in schools, professional sport, and co-founding The School of Play, Paul shares practical insights and real-world impact. Key Takeaways - Play is used as a tool to "trick people into wellbeing," making social-emotional learning more engaging and less confronting, especially for teens and adults. - Building connectedness is essential before learning or behaviour change can take place—this applies equally to classrooms, staff rooms, and sporting clubs. - Adults often engage even more deeply than students in play-based PD, helping them relieve stress, reconnect with peers, and model play for others. - The book 365 Days of Play was created to bring wellbeing through play into homes, with short daily stories and activities families or classrooms can do together. - Independent research with La Trobe University showed measurable impact: a 90% increase in energy, 34% boost in wellbeing, and stronger student confidence and connectedness. - One of Paul’s go-to activities, “Gratitude Pictionary,” invites staff to draw moments of joy from their week, creating laughter, reflection, and a powerful shift in staffroom culture. More About Paul Campbell Paul brings over two decades of comprehensive experience in the educational sector, seamlessly transitioning from a dedicated classroom teacher to an accomplished Assistant Principal. His expertise lies in fostering well-being and positive education initiatives, significantly enhancing the learning environment in schools. Beyond the classroom, Paul has made notable contributions to the sports world, focusing on player welfare and well-being. His impactful work includes collaborations with professional athletes and prestigious sporting clubs, highlighted by his recent tenure at the Collingwood Football Club. Paul is a published author, helping to bring the benefits of daily play into family homes through his book 365 Days of Play.

  • Episode #61 | Alicia Cohen - Supporting Special Needs in Mainstream Schools: A Parent’s Perspective

    Episode #61 | Alicia Cohen - Supporting Special Needs in Mainstream Schools: A Parent’s Perspective
    2025/08/07
    In this episode with Alicia Cohen, we dive into the challenges and rewards of navigating mainstream schooling with a special needs child. Alicia shares her personal journey, insights from her new book, and practical advice for both parents and teachers. Top Takeaways: Be a Visible and Proactive Parent Alicia encourages parents to take an active role in their child’s schooling, not as a “difficult parent,” but as an engaged one. Show up, communicate regularly with staff, and become a known, positive presence in the school community. Build a Strong Support Team Successful mainstreaming relies on a team approach. Alicia recommends gathering a team that includes speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, school leaders, and even peers, all working together, with consistent communication and shared goals. Advocate with Confidence (and Kindness) While collaboration is key, there are times when parents need to advocate firmly, especially around funding, adjustments, and access to resources. Alicia shares how she’s learned to speak openly about her child’s needs while still approaching the school as a partner. Friendships Take Time and They're Worth It Alicia highlights the importance of helping children with special needs form real, lasting friendships. She shares how these relationships have grown over time for her son, Remy, and how small acts (like showing up with snacks!) can help build connections. Mainstreaming Isn't Always Easy, but It Can Be Life-Changing While Alicia acknowledges mainstream schooling isn’t the right fit for every child, she powerfully shares how it has transformed her son's life and their family’s. It’s about choosing what’s best for your child at this point in time and being open to future changes. Teachers Can Make a Huge Difference With Support Alicia offers insight into what helps teachers support students with special needs: honest communication, creative differentiation, and genuine partnership with families. She also advocates for better transitions, shared learning from previous teachers, and student-centred planning.

    2025/07/31

    In this episode with Steven Trotter, we dive into how school leaders can move from overwhelm to clarity, create momentum for change, and lead with both purpose and wellbeing in mind:

    • The SKIM Model, a simple, powerful leadership model that helps shift teams from resistance to momentum
    • Why self-awareness is the foundation of effective leadership and personal wellbeing
    • How to lead through pressure without turning it into stress or burnout
    • The idea of “agency”. Personal strategies to reset, refocus, and stay grounded

    • How to make leadership more intentional (and less reactive) to improve both impact and culture
