''We want [students] to be really successful, but perhaps even more importantly, to find the experience of being educated, both joyful and incredibly rewarding.''
Hear from Mandy Nayton OAM as she explains the work done by the The Dyslexia-SPELD Foundation (DSF). The Fogarty Foundation have partnered with DSF for over a decade as they consistently demonstrated excellence in supporting learners with dyslexia and other literacy challenges. DSF plays a vital role in the education landscape, providing evidence-based programs, specialist tutoring, professional development for teachers, and resources for families.
We are also excited for Mandy Nayton OAM to be joining us as a panelist at our upcoming event EDUCATED 2026. This annual event takes place in two weeks, and we are very excited to bring together educators, policymakers, school leaders, community advocates and sector partners.

🎤 Opening Keynote Announcement: Chris Bush
We are thrilled to welcome Chris Bush, Churchill Fellow and pioneering educator, as our opening keynote speaker for our upcoming State of AI in WA Schools Forum co-hosted with The Beyond Boundaries Institute.
Chris’ journey began with a problem every teacher knows too well: too many students, too little time, and the constant challenge of giving each student what they actually need. After ten years teaching in Victorian secondary schools, he created an AI chatbot trained on the economics curriculum to provide personalised support for his students. The results were striking; test scores improved, and students were more engaged. But success raised a bigger question: if this works, why isn’t every student getting this kind of support?
His Churchill Fellowship took him to five countries to investigate how education systems are integrating AI. What he found was stark: AI is creating a “double equity crisis”, where students with advantages pull further ahead while others are left behind.
Now teaching at University High School in Melbourne, Chris works with schools and systems across Australia. Through workshops, consultations, and strategic planning, he helps educators reimagine education in an AI age; ensuring all students benefit, not just some.
The reality is uncomfortable: some schools are experimenting while others wait for perfect policies; and that delay has consequences. Don’t miss this opportunity to see what’s working, what’s possible, and what you can do.

🚀 We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with the WA Data Science Innovation Hub (WADSIH) for the upcoming State of AI in WA Schools Forum this November.
🎤 On Day 1, WADSIH Director Alex Jenkins will lead a panel; Navigating the Shift: Sector leaders on AI in schools.
đź’ˇ On Day 2, WA Data Science Innovation Hub (WADSIH) will deliver an professional development workshop for teachers and school leaders who are already using generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, and are ready to take their skills to the next level.
This hands-on, half-day session will empower educators to:
✨ Enhance student engagement
✨ Personalise learning (including for neurodiverse students & those with complex learning needs)
✨ Experiment with AI-supported assessment
✨ Co-create AI-driven classroom resources
Participants will walk away with practical, classroom-ready strategies to enrich learning outcomes, and reduce teacher workload, through the thoughtful use of AI.
Along with the The Beyond Boundaries Institute, the Fogarty Foundation is pleased to work with the WA Data Science Innovation Hub (WADSIH); engaging local expertise to help educators unlock the full potential of generative AI in Western Australian schools. 🌟
