Dr Wayne Craig was an Australian educator, researcher and consultant whose career has been shaped by a deep belief: that meaningful change in education begins not with mandates, but with purposeful questions, shared inquiry, and moral purpose. Over four decades, he worked across the system – as a teacher, principal, regional director, and researcher – consistently championing student voice, high expectations, and curiosity-driven learning. His system-level leadership included co-founding the Powerful Learning strategy with Professor David Hopkins and helping establish the Koorie Academy of Excellence. Wayne remained committed to the idea that the most profound shifts in education arise from within schools, not above them. Wayne's book published shortly before he passed away.
