Summary

National awards are just one way of recognising the outstanding work of teachers, school leaders and other education staff, and their impact on student outcomes. The longstanding Prime Minister’s Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching, recognising one primary and one secondary STEM teacher for their outstanding contribution to the field, is just one example. The 2023 winners were announced late last year as Donna Buckley from John Curtin College of the Arts in Western Australia, and Judith Stutchbury from Kalkie State School in Queensland. We had the pleasure of speaking with Donna and Judith late last year about the work they’ve been recognised for. Host: Dominique Russell Guests: Judith Stutchbury and Donna Buckley

The narrator, young Benigna MacAvelly, decides as a child that she intends to emulate her ancestor Niccolò Machiavelli but dedicate her machinations to doing good rather than evil. She starts her ingenious plotting very early in life (for example, as an 11-year-old, she enlists her classmates in an elaborate money-raising scheme to buy a new watch for an impoverished teacher), and moves on to larger goals as she gets older. Her most significant challenge is her domineering father. Determined to liberate her downtrodden mother from his verbal abuse, Benigna concocts an elaborate plan to deal with him and restore her mother's self-confidence.

While many of us fear death and dying, these essays argue that embracing these events can help us reclaim a richness we’re denied in a death-phobic culture.
