​

School Gaze takes readers on a round-the-world school trip spanning six decades. Each chapter is a snapshot of life from the ‘50s to the present day and beyond, viewed from both sides of the teacher’s desk.

​

Combining memories and musings about education and life in general, the journey starts in in grey but definitely not dull post-war Sydney and travels through an ever-changing landscape of schools rich and poor, conventional and quirky, depressing and inspiring.

​

Highlights include surviving a grimy inner-city teacher training college, chilling in a laid-back expat school in Bangkok, mingling with the gentry in a couple of English boarding schools, embracing the rhythm in a bushland Steiner school, throwing caution to the winds in a Balinese eco-school and labouring in a Singaporean exam factory. 

 

The journey ends in a fantasy land of future possibilities.
