My Manifesto

About the Author

Sue Wong (Author) Sue is an earnest retired schoolteacher and coach who is making every attempt to be less earnest, without sacrificing her care factor! She understands the importance of laughter and playfulness but finds them hard to access when she really - and I mean really - cares deeply about almost everything! Sue has always wanted to write because her undergraduate studies in literature and years of teaching English made her feel that great writers are at the pinnacle of earthly success. However wonderful and inspiring that sounds, when combined with Sue's other insecurities - which you will be aware of after having read this book - in actuality, this attitude rendered her with writing paralysis. It was only in lightening up and channelling the Broken Hill girl with her 'common parlance' that she was able to write this book. For all that, her earnestness, I am sure, is still very evident. Justin Robinson (Author) Justin has been a passionate educator for more than thirty years. The first twenty years were spent teaching his love for mathematics and physical education, and the last ten years pioneering wellbeing education. Justin's teaching career has been underpinned by his fulfillment in caring for the lives of young people and their families. He views his time as a Head of Year, a Head of House, and a Head of Boarding as incredibly enriching years in his life. Justin feels blessed with many rich opportunities and challenges that have presented in his life and this has enabled him to discover a purpose of caring deeply for others and gently sharing what he hopes is heartfelt wisdom. To be able to pay forward some of the experiences he has gained from others, and to be able to express aspects of his philosophy for living, is the gift he offers.
