Dr. Leoni Degenhardt, Principal of Loreto Normanhurst, explores the urgent need for schools to adapt to the rapidly changing world. With advancements in technology, shifts in family and gender roles, and the decline of traditional social structures, schools must re-evaluate their purpose. This presentation discusses how globalisation, ethical dilemmas, and increasing societal divides call for a transformative approach to education. By re-envisioning schooling from within, we can foster resilience and adaptability in our students, preparing them for the complexities of modern life.
