With the commencement of the school year here in NSW tomorrow, and another great Australia Day getting toward its twilight, wouldn’t it be great to think toward the year ahead with these words resounding within us.
What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
~ George Bernard Shaw
Engagement: we talk readily about it. The nurturing of curiosity, however, takes this a leap forward from here. We have a world in which the information is there for the finding. The burning, learning curiosity exists within all of us unless we are faced with the conditions in which fires will eventually go out, or be ‘contained.’
Let’s fan a few of those young human fires. Let’s use our pride in the place we live as a driver for wanting to produce our absolute best: who fearlessly ask the questions which will get them the answers they need to create a bright tomorrow.
