Show Notes

Peter Phillips is a husband, father, surfer and leading educator at the sustainability focused and internationally recognised, Green School Bali. Born and raised in Australia, Peter finds his spiritual home in Sanur, Bali, the place his mother and extended Balinese family are from and where he now lives with his wife Mel and their two children Koa and Nyah.

Peter graduated from University with a Bachelor of Education and since graduating has actively sought “progressive approaches” to education. His experience in education is diverse, teaching in the Australian public system, Steiner schools, and currently an International school which has students from literally every part of the globe.

In getting to know Peter, it became very obvious to me early on that this is someone who possesses innate educational leadership. His academic prowess, strong ability to communicate with people on a variety of levels and his personal passion to progress in all that he does provides inspiration to his family, friends, colleagues, local community, but most importantly, the students that he teaches. Combined with an authentic cultural sensitivity and empathy, it  fills me with optimism  and hope to his some like Peter on an educational leadership trajectory, hence his recent appointment as Teacher Representative to the Board of Directors at the Green School.

On this week's episode, Peter is with me to share his journey, experiences, challenges and hopes for the future.
