I would need a very long time to explain :) ... but, in short, they're the system in Australia closest to what Singaporean educator Pak Tee Ng calls "centralised-decentralisation". Steering from the centre but allowing educators freedom to exercise their professional expertise in context #EduSkyAU

It's hard if you are a system leader to lead in a way that recognises complexity and context. I really do feel that South Australia is getting this right at the moment. The leadership of Martin Westwell is currently swimming in a different direction to many other systems and it's working. #EduSkyAU

In a few weeks, I'll be giving a keynote at the SAPPA Conference in Adelaide where I'll get into this topic, arguing that the most impactful leaders I’ve worked with think like designers, scientists, and gardeners—crafting change through iteration, experimentation, and care. #EduSkyAU
