And that’s a wrap!
Finished my Travelling Fellowship by presenting on the @BarkerInstitute longitudinal study I’m working on with Matt Hill to the @ECISchools Leadership Conference. It was great to share where we are up to with this project.
And now the trek back to Australia!

Three of Barker’s students have claimed first-in-course awards.
We extend congratulations to Joanna who led the state in Modern History, Tom who topped Legal Studies and Charlie who took home first in Latin Extension.

Delighted to be checking the proofs of the @BarkerInstitute journal as the editorial team pulls together this year’s volume. Great contributions from fantastic @BarkerCollege colleagues.

Celebrating @BarkerCollege's first coeducational PYP exhibition! Great to see so many wonderful, independent, globally minded critical thinkers at work - some of whom are a part of our Barker Journey longitudinal study! Congratulations to all involved. https://t.co/ehCbxphf5x
