In this episode of the QACSL Podcast – Cross Sector Conversations, we sit down with Dr Shaun Kanowski, former president of QACSL and now a researcher with the Queensland Brain Institute. What began as a discussion about transitions in schooling naturally expanded into a rich conversation around mental health, brain health, and overall wellbeing.

We also dive into Shaun’s work on co-designed professional learning modules that connect neuroscience, brain health, and education — an exciting initiative to strengthen PD for school leaders and teachers. This episode is a reminder that the best podcasts often move beyond their initial intent, uncovering insights that matter deeply to school leaders and communities alike.
