Our Alumni, our partners in change, continually inspire us with their stories of how they are creating impact.
In all my educational, personal, and professional learnings, it is the Stronger Smarter Institute insight that has perpetually fuelled the fire in my belly.
Dr John Davis
Research Fellow
Stronger Smarter is a real boost for us. The different ideas, the way you look at things, and how you think. It’s a mind changer. It’s a real blessing to know that our children are going to benefit from it.

Stronger Smarter was just like me believing in myself again. It gave me a good look at myself and what the changes were that I wanted to see in the school. So that was a turning point for me. I went there …and I came back stronger and smarter.
Fiona Kelly
Principal
School staff can see the progression of Stronger Smarter and the direct impact that facilitative leadership can have on transformational change. The key beneficiaries of what we do are the kids and the communities we work in. They are the ones who will benefit from a culture of high expectations.
Dan Walker
Principal
When I did Stronger Smarter, I felt like it really changed my life. I suddenly said, “no, I’m not going to dumb down the curriculum. These kids are so smart. I need to change my approach”. It was believing that the kids could succeed … because they could, and they are.’
Evelyn Allard
Teacher
The Stronger Smarter training really encouraged me to think more deeply about how we can embed that with our staff to make sure it’s part of our culture and not just something I’ve initiated and if and when I do leave, it will go.”
Renee Matheson
Principal
This is an ongoing journey with more and more staff training and coming on board with this every year. It is money well spent training the staff up in Stronger Smarter strategies that ultimately benefits the students, the school, and the community.
