and do you have some leading questions or you just want me to ramble have you thought about it oh look there are I have led a life of several rooms and the younger parts like everybody's if I was picked up by the police and I was going to go to jail you would pull out some difficulties in your home life relationships with your parents relationships with other sisters your background where your born up here formally views but so we need to just basically set that I don't want to even though those negative things that what other building blocks and how you resolve those and you develop the resilience and my choices into the future that's not the color that I would like I just that would just be context pretty much my sister my comeback because it was a broken home and see lived in it until we got kicked out when I was about 12 and so she may think that some parts that I haven't mentioned these a bit more color but the approach I would take this relatively and details up until probably 15 and then we would start beginning to explain through experience so we have if every thing goes fine we have a six session yes so for session is roughly I don't know to October age but it's much yeah okay so just the bicycle we're talking to haggling in Miller he was born in 124 into a family which grew to be a typical 50s nuclear family to voice two girls his father was a young raw GP his mother was an incredibly bright to qualified woman who gave up her career to support him to finish his medical degree and obviously that his first place was bicycle which is like the desert outside my Bridge and possibly we think of me being born I was actually born in a hospital in Adelaide we think it may be born embarrassed we're environment 54 so was first born son Christopher and Randall second one was born was three had affectedly familiar or there is no understanding what so ever that story I can tell about my mother is that this one was born like a pee and then unfortunately she suffered form is in a row and I finally popped out and I was had several times severe skin conditions but I was alive and so my contention is the bottle of Scott on the table it should make me the form is carriages was a bottle of hikes  I was a fully qualified swimming instructor we're also Society for me and stuff before I was 14 we had a pool in Barra and I went to

Before Husband qualify as a gb and so I had a chat with her and she'd reinvented herself as a teacher of the death she was much more academic rigorous than me I would write papers to get a sea so go and play golf she would spend months riding a paper and get an eye and we would compare papers I know what I passed see she's got as a child a lot of core values that hold my sister there's only two left now my older brother was a incredibly intelligent my but I'm controllable intelligence he was dedic memory with no emotional control and the separation was not happy and he was just on the cusp of feeling responsibility to try to become Alpha and protect the hood and that pushed him from being brought and to the dark side he ended up throwing of multiple drug overdose and Rhonda when I was a child passed another good example is on two weeks and lost fire was very competent and then they started the inside and then the case you have wives of needs of copper so people reassess all through and I sent a whole bunch of drills that were just the paramines are like not anyway that you could just step off the wrong rock and get in 30 feet anyway and the trouble hat in the backyard dragging home so 12 pieces of timber one at a time and they're all and between the tool this and drill and some Sandpiper we would have so there's the hands on repair rebuild reviews philosophy this is about before you core part of my story involved with my father during my life have been a couple of times with my career or social circumstances I've always been in the 70% until about probably running amazing and a lot 

And say look you know he likes gears and Spanners that's what he's talking about now so I think you need to lower your expectations I think it will probably be a good worker in the garage social emotional turning points or crisis that I would look how to ReFrame and there were there were women they were girls they were relationships at work and 

The I got a colleague who I thought would be his thing and possibly give me a new role and within a very short period of time it's surpassed them socially emotionally physically and skill-based wise and so I've never managed to have a strong male Bond in my life but I had been sport rotten by my life actually pivots around incredibly capable strong women starting with my mother and when I re engage with my sister and we had completely different lives up until my mother died we found interestingly sense of social justice of waste philosophy people politics everything was a strong affection of Rhonda say my mother is there a reconnected with my sister not a strange and it was a sister just Peggy the fourth one and wrong pegging this for one thing random memory very capable but no soul Hague was all of those things but not trying I had a birthday party ones where this was the biggest energy on because the people who spent some time with me got some concept of his abilities to do with the concept of gracing that you don't learn from your dad black and white and that's it and so you quickly the answer I became so let's finish the kids Peggy was effectively change for just missed and so she was and by took responsibility for that any was overseas a lot and I was here very very diplomatically transmitted disease and said government so when she went to Indonesia as part of her career she learnt to read right and speak in these into a technical government business she went to spine into the same thing she went to tile and she writes all tyre script and reads off the first job in country apart from finding accommodation is find a teacher and every day that's in country says somebody comes at one and they talk so you know that sort of seconds that talking about World affairs the third powerful that was positive I was executed and on the guy who can solve anything and the emotions together in two years going forward and I'm at light five and reassess with my sister and Penny since got a magnificent so we affected a group of 

Points towards the year and what I effectively did was the stats to each of that year was horrible and so I rented that sex is for all the students so that they could actually pass that and the said what else you interested in I said what else you got and I because I was a strong site person they wanted me to do a probably the second project ever in the world on biofeedback where you attach and go searching for algorithms and then seeing people can externally control their own algorithms and they can but my simple question and those days they were basically simply divide people I've been interested in so I did six months detailed research and the advent of computers had just arrived and they were things called pdp11s and a great big fridges and I had like one came memory and you had to boot them up yourself so unbeknowns and roll in computing now a free requisite for computing sensation probably even now definitely then was too but I didn't have the academic and I had my own project going but I also had to fulfill the coursework course it's easy but you I am looking at this problem differently to you to me all these programs subroutines and everything about clean thinking I'm not about math you get people of the problem solution that I can because I'm simplifying the problem and looking for the solution all the issue and so that the door for computing for me eventually I study there was this thing called the bond which the things all the bond prefolk Witness war guys with come back from the wall and say what he wants me too and so you can read yes it will make you the principle and so the vast majority of the teachers in our system pre-seventy were basically the Spencer's and well-maintaining fellows who had no bloody and some of what actually trying and someone would just came along which is when I was going through academia and when I first started studying stating it was like 3,300 and by the time I came out into the class in the first year and the minimum qualification becomes three years and because there's an old fellow you have to do teaching practices so my teaching practices and it's just women the bosses everybody

 small but everything that's everything he's deciding whether you have the resilience the potential for the emotional skill development the empathy to engage in one relationships with 31 kids in the 

my first appointment was to school in Elizabeth and that may seem like it because back in those days people getting appointed every the world connected Burns see burn city in the Eastern people with their rich mums and beds they get linen Park supposed to be an open lottery but then you get start going downhill and then the next major group who used to wire a little bit when they went to the appointment board would get places like Port Augusta Whyalla Mount Gambier major country sensors so it whole social group would go but not suggesting that one particularly easy schools but there's a whole lot of benefits if you didn't get to say here and at that age most people didn't have a house people declare that we're going to get married and started and I'll go to Elizabeth and Elizabeth stage these are the south was the biggest single parent dumping ground in Australia so the the social fabric that children the whole thing and within reality shorter identified as one of the first schools in the national program called this program all priority projects and it was confronting you know kids first week boy and difficult he's whole kit and went to the female something you would never hearing into a toilet strip him off washing down bags is closed we've got spare clothes from the office dressed him up talking about the classroom and it wasn't because it wasn't because I washed him it wasn't it but over the next Elizabeth stories there and during that time I learnt that was extremely good but I needed to be two people so that I would drive to work in this commit deeply honestly one on these little bugs and know them all beautifully and they broke down my 50s boy is not just call up and I fear for me because I was completely and so we had absolutely stop this it was the same time the learning that there is a incredibly powerful intellectual based that needs to be fair as well and the emotional side is extremely draining and so again not verbalized properly implicit emerging understanding that basically languages I know good to anybody myself safe so I need a release and so my release was that the other half of me was renovating the old house in the beach it was the deep sea sailing I took on the it went out and celery and then I enrolled in three course to feed and 

Warehouse safe and they feel safe and joyous and they want to come then you have a real chance of finding some real diamonds and living them start investing out in their own for potential but at the same time I developed a number of physical skills to distract our bought Academy artery and all sorts of strange things and that was a period of 10 in bowling I tried cricket found out as a good spinola but didn't like create but that became a part of my career and at the end of my career which will talk about the rest of it and why in why we came retired and then we came

a part of the school was I've got the classroom covered now so then I within two years was confident and then I started engaging in concepts like curriculum writing and became a very unexpected fellow there was they were writing a Curriculum visual media service Australia and this Junior Primary teacher to roll up and on some reason why we end up going and taking some pictures and within very short written the manual for black and white photography and was teaching black and white photography and integrating it back into classroom programs so if I'm a young girl once it was straight and she was bright but the language how concept of relevant reading become the school in the 70s and I give you guys holiday with Jim mum dad dog cat house cat everything's the American Dream basically I can't understand the family I started working on this model which I use relevant say first that school we started up I am you and for kids and then create this is my mom you don't even question if I don't want to write one keep coming Peter and sisters and woman next to him was not his grandmother it was his mother was a 17th we should probably stop yeah and see if that helps before ending at what age did you start teaching it Elizabeth 1977 and I would say therefore ever but because I didn't just became quite convinced and philosophical committed person to the concept of disadvant schools and so I would occasionally get into trouble and staff meeting because I was about philosophy and the practice we should take these kids and take some money so they can all gone and these are the south was seen as a promotion school because it was a young star it was one of the early schools that all the people had three qualifications and particularly a couple of stuff like me who were curriculum cable and we were riding documentation so it was looked at as a very exciting place and so up and coming principals the generation just behind us couple more years experience and therefore they were ready to one of the school and so there's a reasonably high turn over the edge and unfortunately any process like that for a year and by now there is a sense of 

I wanted to say it forever but this woman is an idiot now there are two ways we can go about this there's a transfer possibility of the interview but nobody was the system hadn't worked out how to move teachers around because they've been such an influx and the union and the department was still fighting so you had to fit out of transfer and then apply some pressure one easy way to get a move was to be seen to be incompetent and effectively get put in a bumbbox and so I do most of the transfers and the PS across all the different regions would get together and I would say I can't have this guy on my disagree anymore he's been too many parents you take him and I'll take yours and I said I'm happy to go through that because I'm not say that and she said your other choices you expedite a proper transfer for me you motivation is this you know I can speak you get me out of here unfortunately stop not totally ministerial or create a problem big enough that it'll get to Parliament and Minnesota have to become involved investigation and at the end of that I'll get out of here but a lot of people will be unnecessarily and we should see small and said leave me Frank and from Elizabeth into Port Adelaide directly into another disadvantage school as a junior promise you reception to make the point there is a privacy primary teachers my core classroom responsibility for the education was he bring your darling child see the door for their school just before closing yes for how long will your teacher okay so I was actually filled out my retirement papers in 2005 at 50 and so when you look at this I have been incredibly lucky with the decisions about because I have had more than 15 years of robust empowered free choice the underlying reason was that in 2003 we had met pool resources say that money renovated the kitchen and the bathroom and so we my sister was by this stage in South East Asia she was in Indonesia and so we organize a fully Cotton Tree for 36 hours before we went like this 2003 or we jump too much we finished teaching in 2004 but the reason for it was it in 2003 and he was diagnosed with what's called her two positive aggressive breast cancer and seriously so it's all
