'Inspirational. This is the most exciting thing in my 30 years of teaching. It's the single thing in my 14 years of being a principal where every single staff member is on the journey and changing the way they think - in order to bring change with our students. It's so, so cool. It's the one thing I think could really make a difference with teenagers in our current culture. And that's saying something!' - Rosey Mabin, Principal, Inglewood School
