Life Experience VS Schooling

Wednesday, 10 September 2025 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm
Blue and White Poster Raising our Voices Education VS Schooling

Today we are talking about Education and Schooling

Education is a human right for everyone and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for all.

Chris, James, Amanda, Simo, Louise, Michael, Shona and Heather share their experiences with education in both mainstream and non mainstream schools

Talking about the hard things as well as the good things, like making friends and learning life skills.

We may have talked about some stressful or triggering topics and this might have brought up some difficult feelings for some people listening today. 

If you need to talk to someone please phone 

• Life line - 13 11 14 

• Beyond Blue - 1300 22 4636 

• Or call someone you trust 

MUSIC on the show was (Remember The Days Of The) Old School Yard by Yusuf/Cat Stevens (Removed due to copyright on the podcast - listen LIVE on 3CR or ON Demand to hear the music)

We couldn't fit the entire conversation into this months episiode so stay tuned during Summer Programming 25/26 to hear the conversation in full

Bye!
