On Monday 2nd September 2024, I was invited to work with the entire teaching staff at Strathcona Girls Grammar School in Melbourne and guide them through the Adobe Creative Educator Level 1 course.

Strathcona holds a very special place in my heart. I taught there for 13 years prior to working at Adobe and was their Director of Learning Technologies. My wife & I also sent my daughter Talana to Strathcona for her secondary schooling, where she ended up as the Deputy School Captain in 2019. And my sister Lisa Mason (Kitchen) went their as a students and also taught there.

The Adobe Creative Educator (ACE) program is all about nurturing and celebrating education professionals in their work to guide the next generation to become life-long creators.

I would like to thank Kara Baxter (Strathcona’s Dean of Teaching and Learning) and her team for organising this opportunity for her colleagues.
