The Game Changers podcast celebrates true pioneers who inspire us to take the big step forward and up in education and beyond. In this, the Prologue of Series Eighteen, your host Professor Phil Cummins, sets up the provocation for the theme of the new season: The Character of Success. Phil identifies the questions that intrigue him about what it means to live a good life, one that's both worthwhile and well-lived, and digs deep into the preparation that school can give for this life. He examines in particular five powerful knowledges with which learners can be equipped: to know what, to know how, to know where, to know why and (most of all) to know who one is and is becoming as school equips students to become young people with the character to thrive in their world. Phil tests this understanding in conversation with two key people in his life: Dr Ian Lambert, Principal of the Scots College, Sydney (with whom Phil's had a deep professional connection for nearly two decades now) and also his mother, Dr Rohma Newman Cummins (wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, pathologist, orchestra manager, business owner and the Founding Chair of CIRCLE Education).The Game Changers podcast is produced by Evan Phillips supported by a School for tomorrow (aschoolfortomorrow.com), and powered by CIRCLE Education.

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In episode 200 (Part 3) of Game Changers, Phil Cummins joins in conversation with Andrew Donnelly & Neil Wolstenholme!Andrew Donnelly has worked in the education sector since 2008 and is driven by a deep passion for transforming how we prepare young people for life beyond the classroom. Convinced that the global education system often fails to serve the true needs of students, he co-founded Kloodle in 2014 to help shift the focus from grades alone to a more holistic view of individual potential.Inspired by Sir Ken Robinson’s renowned TED Talk on creativity in education, Andrew and his co-founders recognised that academic achievement is just one piece of the puzzle. Schools, he believes, have become production lines, churning out students who often lack the self-awareness, creativity, and adaptability required for a fulfilling life and career.Kloodle was created to highlight and value the meaningful experiences young people gain through enrichment, peer interaction, and real-world skill development - what Andrew calls the "transferable skills currency." These are the traits that employers truly value and that enable students to thrive in an unpredictable and fast-changing world.A decade into the journey, Andrew and his team stand on the brink of significant change, backed by a growing community of like-minded educators, employers, and institutions who share the vision of a reimagined education system - one that equips young people not just for exams, but for purpose, happiness, and lifelong success.Neil Wolstenholme has had a long and varied journey across education, business and life. What he’s learned along the way is that it’s not exam results that define a person—it’s their skills, character and how they respond to the challenges they face. For Neil, qualifications are just hoops to jump through; nobody ever asks what A-levels you got when deciding whether you’re kind, dependable or capable.An exceptionally talented sportsman who played football at a very high level in his younger days, Neil sees clear parallels between the grit, resilience and teamwork forged on the pitch and the attributes which underpin success and contentment in life. It’s these lived experiences, and the people he’s met along the way, which have shaped his belief in the lifelong value of character.The Game Changers podcast is produced by Evan Phillips supported by a School for tomorrow (aschoolfortomorrow.com), and powered by CIRCLE.

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In episode 195 (Part 3) of Game Changers, Phil Cummins joins in conversation with Homa Sabet TavangarBorn in Iran, raised in the U.S., and having lived in South America and Africa, Homa Sabet Tavangar’s life and work have led her on a journey exploring the roots of purpose, innovation and belonging. Homa connects timely topics with the timeless desire to work with intention and make a difference — whatever one’s circumstances. As co-founder of BigQuestions.Institute and OnenessLab.com, she partners with thought leaders dedicated to re-imagining learning and work while centering equity, inquiry and innovation.Homa’s innovative approach has led schools and companies from crisis to global citizenship and competence in ways that create belonging across perspectives. Her approach fosters empathy, collaboration, diversity, inclusion, leadership, futures thinking, and creative problem-solving in complex, multicultural settings, — and re-imagines academic institutions and workplaces for the 21st Century.Homa is the author of widely-acclaimed books, including Growing Up Global: Raising Children to Be At Home in the World (Random House, 2009), Global Kids: 50+ Games, Crafts, Recipes & More from Around the World (Barefoot Books, 2019), The Global Education Toolkit for Elementary Learners (Sage/Corwin, 2014), co-author of a 3-book series with Professor Yong Zhao on educating creative, entrepreneurial World Class Learners (Corwin, 2016), and contributor to Mastering Global Literacy, by Heidi Hayes-Jacobs, ed. (Solution Tree, 2013). Most recently she co-authored 9 BIG Questions Schools Must Answer to Avoid Going “Back to Normal” (*Because “Normal” Wasn’t That Great to Begin With).Her work has been hailed by international education and business leaders and media — from Dr. Jane Goodall to the BBC, NPR, NBC, ABC, Washington Post.com, Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times, Boston Globe, PBS, Scholastic, Parents Magazine, Rodale, and many more. Growing Up Global has been a best-seller in Parenting, Education, and Globalization categories, and introduced the possibilities of raising and educating global citizens to a wide audience. Her article on Empathy was Edutopia’s most shared piece for four continuous years. Global Kids is the winner of the 2021 Tilliwig Best Children’s Products award.Homa translates culture, diversity, innovation and globalization trends and breakthroughs into academic and social-emotional learning in ways that empower CEOs, teachers, parents and learners from Kindergarten to graduate students thrive in a global context — and have fun along the way. She advises entertainment pioneers Disney Channel and Empatico.org on cultural bias, and NBC’s Sprout TV on script development and cultural elements in the ambitious, young children’s animated series “Nina’s World,” based in part on Growing Up Global, and starring Rita Moreno and Mandy Patinkin.The Game Changers podcast is produced by Evan Phillips supported by a School for tomorrow (aschoolfortomorrow.com), and powered by CIRCLE.

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In episode 193 of Game Changers, Phil Cummins joins in conversation with Benjamin Cooper, Executive Chef at Chin Chin for a holiday special.Hailing from the small town of Taree in New South Wales, Benjamin Cooper has been Executive Chef at beloved Southeast Asian restaurant Chin Chin for the past 13 years. He has worked with several of Australia's most celebrated chefs, flexing his skill and knowledge in kitchens across Melbourne and the UK.Originally aiming to pursue a career in economics, Benjamin ended up completing a culinary apprenticeship on a gap year — and never looked back. The early days of his career saw him head to the UK, where he worked with head chefs at renowned restaurants including Nobu London, Bluebird in Chelsea and Smiths of Smithfield.Cooper’s passion for authentic techniques and high-quality ingredients grew as he worked with Australia's best-known Thai cuisine chef, David Thompson, at Nahm within London’s The Halkin — the first Michelin-starred Thai restaurant in Europe.Returning to Melbourne, Benjamin worked as Head Chef at fine-diner Ezard and esteemed Thai restaurant Longrain, both stints cementing his love of fresh and fiery flavours.In 2011, Benjamin joined restaurateur Chris Lucas to launch Chin Chin, where his now trademark big, brash flavour combinations had diners lining up down the street from day one. An icon of Melbourne’s food scene, Chin Chin arguably kickstarted the city’s trend of dining with energy, colour and music from its location on Flinders Lane.Benjamin's passion, understanding of ingredients and knack for experimenting with flavours and texture combinations has redefined Southeast Asian cuisine in Australia. It’s helped drive Chin Chin’s incredible success within the country’s hospitality scene, not just with the restaurant’s original Melbourne location, but also its second outpost in Sydney’s Surry Hills (opened in 2017) and the addition of Club Chin Chin at GMHBA Stadium (2024).Aside from the fiery Asian food he brings to life at Chin Chin, Cooper is passionate about coffee and cheese, and shares his years of culinary experience with those keen to learn via Chin Chin’s own ‘Cooking with Cooper’ classes. Benjamin’s recipes and kitchen experience have also contributed to Chin Chin’s three cookbooks, ‘Chin Chin: The Book’, ‘Chin Chin: Feed Me’ and the just-released ‘Chin Chin: Still Hungry’.The Game Changers podcast is produced by Evan Phillips supported by a School for tomorrow (aschoolfortomorrow.com), and powered by CIRCLE.

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In episode 189 (Part 3) of Game Changers, Phil Cummins joins in conversation with Benjamin Cooper, Executive Chef at Chin Chin.Hailing from the small town of Taree in New South Wales, Benjamin Cooper has been Executive Chef at beloved Southeast Asian restaurant Chin Chin for the past 13 years. He has worked with several of Australia's most celebrated chefs, flexing his skill and knowledge in kitchens across Melbourne and the UK.Originally aiming to pursue a career in economics, Benjamin ended up completing a culinary apprenticeship on a gap year — and never looked back. The early days of his career saw him head to the UK, where he worked with head chefs at renowned restaurants including Nobu London, Bluebird in Chelsea and Smiths of Smithfield.Cooper’s passion for authentic techniques and high-quality ingredients grew as he worked with Australia's best-known Thai cuisine chef, David Thompson, at Nahm within London’s The Halkin — the first Michelin-starred Thai restaurant in Europe.Returning to Melbourne, Benjamin worked as Head Chef at fine-diner Ezard and esteemed Thai restaurant Longrain, both stints cementing his love of fresh and fiery flavours.In 2011, Benjamin joined restaurateur Chris Lucas to launch Chin Chin, where his now trademark big, brash flavour combinations had diners lining up down the street from day one. An icon of Melbourne’s food scene, Chin Chin arguably kickstarted the city’s trend of dining with energy, colour and music from its location on Flinders Lane.Benjamin's passion, understanding of ingredients and knack for experimenting with flavours and texture combinations has redefined Southeast Asian cuisine in Australia. It’s helped drive Chin Chin’s incredible success within the country’s hospitality scene, not just with the restaurant’s original Melbourne location, but also its second outpost in Sydney’s Surry Hills (opened in 2017) and the addition of Club Chin Chin at GMHBA Stadium (2024).Aside from the fiery Asian food he brings to life at Chin Chin, Cooper is passionate about coffee and cheese, and shares his years of culinary experience with those keen to learn via Chin Chin’s own ‘Cooking with Cooper’ classes. Benjamin’s recipes and kitchen experience have also contributed to Chin Chin’s three cookbooks, ‘Chin Chin: The Book’, ‘Chin Chin: Feed Me’ and the just-released ‘Chin Chin: Still Hungry’.The Game Changers podcast is produced by Evan Phillips supported by a School for tomorrow (aschoolfortomorrow.com), and powered by CIRCLE.

In this second conversation of Series Fifteen, we talk with Rosemary Kariuki.Rosemary Kariuki is the multicultural community liaison officer for the Parramatta Police. She specialises in helping migrants who are facing domestic violence, language barriers and financial distress.Fleeing Kenya alone in 1999 to escape family abuse and tribal clashes, her early years in Australia were terribly lonely. Her experience helped Rosemary recognise that isolation is a huge issue for many migrant women. Many aren’t used to going out alone, have no transport and speak little or no English. So Rosemary devised ways to help women leave their house and meet women in similar circumstances.In partnership with the African Women’s Group, she helped start the African Women’s Dinner Dance. Now in its 14th year, more than 400 women attend the annual event. She also started the African Village Market – a program to help migrants and refugees start their own businesses – which ran for four years.The Game Changers podcast is produced by Joshua Jeffries, supported by a School for tomorrow (aschoolfortomorrow.com), and powered by CIRCLE.

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this Fifth conversation of Series Fourteen, we talk with Adelina Melia-Douvos, an educational leader, with over 35 years of experience, commitment and resolve to deliver excellent education to young people. Adelina embarks on her vocation, motivated by the fundamental belief that she absolutely does have the responsibility and the power to bring hope to young people, to create possibilities for them and to provide them with the opportunities and means to create purposeful and meaningful lives. Adelina's educational philosophy has always translated into a moral imperative, based on delivering a student-centred education with learning and teaching practices preparing students to be future-ready.
Adelina's own experience of education was transformative. Exemplary educators throughout her life championed and challenged her to pursue excellence; each of them evoked an enduring passion for learning and her education was one which was profoundly relational, engaging her heart and mind equally. Having majored in English and Classics, my early teaching career saw me impart a love of literature and writing.
Additionally, Adelina was appointed to middle leadership roles relatively early in her career, sparking a desire to lead beyond the classroom. Over the years, she has undertaken a wide range of middle and senior leadership roles in the areas of curriculum, well-being, faith development and senior organisational management. Her journey to principalship has been driven by a strong sense of purpose and an insatiable desire to pay it forward – courage and stoicism have guided her on the path, the result of which has been this most rewarding and fulfilling opportunity to be custodian, albeit for a mere chapter, in the rich narrative of Sacré Cœur.

How is it that you become one of Australia's premier restaurateurs and chefs? And what do you need to learn along the way? In this ninth special series of Game Changers, Phil Cummins joins in conversation with Scott Pickett to answer that very question. Chef Restaurateur Scott Pickett embodies the essence of Australian hospitality. Growing up in Kangarilla, South Australia — a region famous for the diversity and quality of its produce — Pickett’s early years were spent surrounded by family, traditions of his grandparents’ cooking and a native larder with which he developed a subliminal connection, henceforth informing his values as a chef. Growing up on the land, Pickett’s strong connection to local farmers & local produce blossomed into a lifelong love affair with all things food. Across Scott’s group of restaurants, which include Estelle, Longrain, Matilda, Chancery Lane & Pastore, Scott is able to play with different techniques and cuisines, including doing things like a classic sausage roll! Firmly established as one of Australia’s leading chefs and restaurateurs, Pickett’s generous spirit and abundant personality are at the core of his establishments, along with his deep understanding of seasonality and respect for Australian growers and producers; each a testament to the origins of this warm-hearted, country boy with an obsessive dedication to excellence.

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this seventh episode of Series Seven of the Game Changers podcast, we talk with Loni Bergqvist, Founder of Imagine If, a Denmark-based organization, supporting schools with reimagining education. Loni started her career in education teaching at a traditional school in San Diego, California. She became a project-based learning 'convert' when she started attending night school in Leadership at the High Tech High Graduate School of Education. She began to try (with little success) to do projects in her own class. Loni could see very clearly that her students needed real-world projects desperately but would probably never have access to this type of learning. Since 2014, Loni has been working with schools around the world to re-imagine education. Her project-based learning expertise has been used in several international initiatives, including REAL-Projects (Innovation Unit, United Kingdom) and LEAPS (Kata Foundation, Denmark).

What is the true power of humanity? How do we unlock it in our students? In this sixth special series of The Game Changers Podcast, Phil Cummins joins in conversation with Santiago Rincon-Gallardo and Hà Ánh Phượng to unpack these core questions. Santiago Rincón Gallardo is an education consultant and Chief Research Officer at Michael Fullan’s team. He conducts research, advises leaders and educators, and is involved in efforts to transform teaching and learning across educational systems in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. As an educator and organizer, Santiago worked for over a decade to promote grassroots educational change initiatives in Mexican public schools serving historically marginalized communities. He was the director of a small NGO that catalyzed a movement to turn conventional classrooms into tutorial networks, which reached nine thousand schools across the country. Schools that joined this movement, serving some of the most historically marginalized children across Mexico, showed remarkable gains in student performance and in three years were outperforming their more privileged counterparts. Santiago's academic work explores how effective pedagogies for deep learning can spread at scale. His most recent book is Liberating Learning: Educational Change as Social Movement and his new website (LiberatingLearning.com) just went live. You can reach out to Santiago on twitter at @SRinconGallardo. In this episode, Santiago and Phil discuss the provocation: learning is a practice of freedom.
