In this episode of Your School Journey, host Mal Galer chats with Tom Cullen, Dean of Student Futures at Emmanuel College, about how education is evolving to prepare young people for a rapidly changing world.

Tom shares how his role goes beyond traditional career advice to help students build purpose, adaptability, and confidence as they navigate diverse pathways from university and vocational training to gap years and global opportunities.

They explore how parents can nurture curiosity, support their child’s growth, and guide them toward futures driven by passion and problem-solving rather than pressure or expectation.
