Talking Heads: Paul Sjogren, Trinity Anglican School, Australia
How do schools move from understanding the Round Square IDEALS to embedding them into everyday school life? In this two-part edition of Talking Heads, Trinity Anglican School (TAS) in Australia shares its approach to building a culture in which the Round Square IDEALS are introduced early, reinforced consistently and experienced through action. From hands-on service and sustainability initiatives in primary years to character frameworks, international experiences and student-led service projects in secondary school, the conversations explore how Round Square can become part of a school’s identity rather than a standalone programme.
Through discussions with Principal Paul Sjogren, Primary Round Square Coordinator Claire Bossingham, Head of Secondary Jen Fukushima and Round Square Coordinator Kerry Moyer, these episodes examine how schools can create meaningful pathways for students to develop leadership, compassion, perseverance and global understanding over time.
Whether you are introducing Round Square in your school, looking to strengthen student leadership and service opportunities, or considering how to create a more intentional journey from the early years through to graduation, these episodes offer practical insights from a school that has embedded the Round Square IDEALS across the whole student experience.
