S7/Ep.07 - Boys’ and Girls’ Schools Working Together
Q: What foundational changes helped sustain this partnership beyond personalities or one-off initiatives?
A long-term culture shift backed by leadership support, formal agreements (memorandum of understanding), built-in staff development, and calendar integration that embeds the collaboration into the schools' routines and governance.
S7/Ep.07 - Boys’ and Girls’ Schools Working Together
Q: Tell me a little bit more about that intentionality. How do you make sure that the program benefits both groups equally? How do you know when you've got the balance wrong?
They emphasize deliberate, authentic design with carefully curated mixed groups, ongoing feedback from parents, and a clear set of learning outcomes to guide each Melbourne Experience, ensuring both sides gain from the collaboration rather than one side dominating.
S6/Ep.08 - Boys in a Digital Storm
Q: How might we measure if boys are truly getting to that point where they're autonomous?
We can measure by looking at counselor visitation rates, involvement in activities, and conducting anonymous surveys about trust and online engagement.
S6/Ep.08 - Boys in a Digital Storm
Q: What concrete steps do you think we can take as Boys' Schools to build that digital literacy among educators?
We must lead with genuine inquiry, offer curriculum in digital literacy, and engage in continuous conversations about the online spaces boys navigate.

Q: What prompted this conversation?
The recent Netflix series 'Adolescence' and its reflection on raising boys in the digital age.
