Fiona Young: How EAs are redefining their roles with AI & automation
Executive Assistants (EAs) are on the brink of a huge shift, and I’m here for it. Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just a “nice to have” – it’s rewriting the rulebook for what it means to be an EA. I spent a number of years in this very role, and after making the move into learning & development, I’m keen to bridge that gap between theory of AI and its practical application in the day-to-day. The results speak for themselves.

Mother's Day can be so painful without your mother but community can help

I remember I was awake at dawn on the day after she passed.

Strategy and vision: Why your school's master plan must be front and centre
Every school needs a Strategic Plan that sets out the school vision, and goals and strategies for achieving these. Every school should also have a Vision for Teaching and Learning, a statement of the kind of learning, learners and pedagogy to which the school is committed. There is a third visioning and planning document that should be linked clearly to the school’s strategy and learning vision, and that is the Master Plan.
Learning environments: Designing space for every body
For many architecture practices working on commissions for single-sex schools, a recurring consideration is how the physical environment of schools should reflect the gender diversity of its students. While there is much debate about the merits of single-sex versus co-educational schools, there is little critique of how the design of learning spaces contributes to definitions of gender identity and how schools shape gender equity.
