Education Heroes
Spotlighting educators who make a difference to learners every day.
The Education Heroes Podcast shares the stories of heroic educators with a focus on their professional journey. Our guests share insights, ideas, opinions and stories that will resonate with our listeners and hopefully inspire some new ideas or make professional decisions easier. We invite education heroes from around the world and from many different roles including principals, head teachers, leaders, teachers and ed-tech leaders.

Education Heroes
Kerry McConaghy and Jenny Washington - Two Sisters, Two Principals, Two Countries
In this episode of the Education Heroes Podcast, Paul Sibson welcomes not one, but two remarkable guests – sisters and primary principals, Kerry McConaghy and Jenny Washington.
Follow Kerry and Jenny's fascinating journey as they share their experiences and connection as sisters who have pursued parallel paths into education, now leading primary schools in two different countries - Jenny at Te Ara Maurea Roydvale School in Christchurch, New Zealand, while Kerry heads Cammeray Public School in New South Wales, Australia.
Listen to their personal stories in this extra-long episode, from their own schooling and childhood experiences to their passion for teaching and learning. Discover their insights on building a student-centred school culture, developing the next generation of school leaders, and the similarities and differences between NZ and NSW's education systems.
