Welcome

The Festival of Ideas is our community soaring

together. The Festival is a showcase of creativity

and innovation, not focussed on finished, polished

products or refined solutions but more on the thinking,

design, risk taking and the enterprising processes

behind them.

The event will proudly display the rich learning journey from ELC to Year 12, it will give us all reassuring insights into how our young stars critically engage with world politics, environmental and social justice issues. We will see collaboration and teamwork at its best and hear our students, staff and parents articulate with clarity and passion, their ideas and convictions.

The Festival of Ideas unleashes St John’s student agency. That opportunity for young people to pursue their interests and strengths, entwine those in their everyday learning in meaningful and relevant ways and make decisions about the pathways that their learning weaves... that is student agency at its best and this Festival will be an example of what the school does very well.

The Festival of Ideas is fun and spirited. The day is an exposé of chaos, dysfunction, debate and free-spirit. That makes for some fun and excitement. There is genuine celebration of the joy and enthusiasm of learning that we can all share in.

The Festival of Ideas is a great idea and I welcome you all to our first dive into disruption!

Keynote Speaker

After working extensively on simulation

theory, imagination, empathy and fiction,

in recent years, esteemed academic,

researcher and author, Dr Ian Ravenscroft

has focused on the cognitive science of

terrorism. He regularly gives public talks

on philosophy and is often called upon by

media for his expertise.

Dangerous ideas challenge the laws or social

conventions of their time. Darwin’s theory of

evolution was—and still is—a dangerous idea. I’ll

present a few examples of dangerous ideas and

invite you to express your own views.

Don’t miss Dr Ravenscroft’s “Dangerous Ideas” at 5.30PM in the JBC.

Social Media Panel Q&ALed by Principal, Richard Anderson

“At a time where serious questions are being raised

about the impact of excessive use of technology by

young people, schools and other organisations are
