Hilary Purdie
Taroona Primary School
Digital Learning Leader
After 8 years in outdoor education, Hilary embarked on a challenge to create the same incredible learning that happens in outdoor ed within the constraints of the institution of “the school”. 15 years ago learning through experimentation, collaborating to solve real problems, embracing mistakes, learning through risk and failing forward were fringe pedagogies. Jump to the present educational climate, Hilary is a pig in mud. Currently leading Extension, Support and Digital Learning at Taroona Primary School, Hilary is passionate about leveraging teacher-leaders as change agents, as the most effective pathway to growing strong, school-wide cultures of innovation.
