    Turning a public school around: from closure to school of the year

    Turning a public school around: from closure to school of the year

    In 2006, Albert Park College in inner city Melbourne was closed after enrollments plummeted. A group of determined parents rallied and convinced the education department to give the publicly funded school a second chance. The old buildings were bulldozed and a new school began to take shape. In 2010, Steven Cook was appointed principal of the new school which at that stage had no furniture, no staff or students or even a name. 11 years later Albert Park College was voted Australian School of the Year. Steven Cook has written a book about the turnaround, and how a successful school was created where a previous one had failed.

Amazing host

Katheryn is such an impressive host who manages to combine intellectual interviews on an amazingly wide range of deep and/or sensitive topics. Head and shoulders above most others. I compare her to a wonderful host for the BBC who managed to “drop a word in the ear of the nation”. Kathryn does the same here for NZ with grace and intelligence.
She gets my vote.

Could be better

Great topics covered and interviewees, but the host doesn’t give them enough time to speak (and spends each interview commenting on the time remaining).

Elby One ,

Kathryn Ryan

often seems like the interviewee here, talking over her guests with her sanctimonious sludge. Hard. Very hard to listen to.
