What happens behind the iron cast gates of an elite all boys private school? This is the question we posed to Rob Sturrock, author, father of two and former Shore Valedictorian. In today’s episode, Rob shares with us what it was like to attend Shore from years 3 through to year 12, and what it took to unlearn the harmful beliefs he’d internalised about what it means to be a real man.

Mentioned in the episode: 
A video of the prefect speech Jess mentioned was unable to be sourced but is believed to be by year 12 Cranbrook student Asher Learmonth. This is an article that details key aspects of the speech: https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/parenting/school-life/prefect-at-private-school-calls-for-a-change-in-attitudes-in-wake-of-petition-about-sex-assault/news-story/ee03841f66436daafd502389392a8612
