My particular interest lies in the area of holistic education, especially in the context of independent and faith-based schools. More specifically, I can assist you think through the challenges associated with becoming a school which offers an education that is fit for purpose in these extraordinary times in which we live.

In 2020-22, I completed a Master of Educational Leadership, through Morling College. My research thesis was titled “Holistic Education, Student Wellbeing and the Application of Positive Education in Anglican Schools in Queensland”. I suggest that this thinking could be applied in any faith-based, independent school, with leaders who wish to deliver student wellbeing services that are congruent with their school vision.

I Believe

Character is the moral nature of a person. It determines how, in each circumstance, they will perceive, think, speak and act.
Nobody has a perfectly good character. We are all a mix of various virtues and vices. Often, we are a bundle of contradictions.
Character is dynamic, not fixed (although, rather like clay, it is most malleable in the young and tends to become more fixed in the old, as we become “set in our ways”).
The character of a young person is influenced by their predispositions and experiences (most notably in the home and at school).

Recommendations

"For any school interested in providing an education worth having, the well-being of staff, students and families, a truly holistic education, and the development of a young person’s character, I highly recommend them to Nigel Grant".
