Leading the Way

My initiatives and programs have all been on the leading edge of scientific discoveries and education trends.

With my independent research delving into the sometimes complex fields of neuro science, alternative health, spirituality, psychology, neurobiology, physiology, philosophy and human potential, my challenge has been to combine all of this information with the simplicity and clarity of Primary School teaching, to create relevant, practical and easy to implement programs.

On my journey to achieving this so far I have:
  • Pioneered of the use of Brain Gym and Educational Kinesiology in around 40 Primary Schools in the Sandhurst Diocese, Victoria, during the 1990s
  • Co-written a resource in 1994 entitled,  Strategies for a Positive Classroom and School
