Churchill Fellowship information session: Education

​To inspire your application for the 2023 Churchill Fellowship round, the Churchill Trust, in partnership with our Churchill Fellows, will be delivering virtual information sessions throughout February 2023.

​Education

​​In this session join Churchill Fellows Anita Collins and Ganga Fraser as they share their Fellowship experiences, impart insights on their fascinating projects and motivate you with what they have achieved since returning to Australia. You will also be able to engage in a live Q&A and gain helpful advice on how to apply.

​Meet our speakers for this session

​Anita is an educator working with school children through to teachers, politicians, school leaders and decision makers. While her research expertise is highly specialised in the field of music learning and brain development, her professional expertise is highly generalised in looking at how music learning can enhance human performance. Anita has a number of roles including the Founder and Director of Muse Consulting, dedicated to finding ideas and making them live, and the Creative Chair of Learning and Engagement with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

​Anita was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2015 to explore research collaborations between music education programs and neuroscience laboratories. You can learn more about Anita here.

​Ganga is a passionate and thoughtful educator who is highly committed to ensuring all students, regardless of their background, have access to quality education, and that schools use the most effective programs to bridge learning gaps. She is also passionate about addressing one of Tasmania’s greatest challenges: raising literacy and numeracy rates. Ganga is currently Head of ELICOS, at The Hutchins School, Sandy Bay, Tasmania. Between 20i14 and 2019 Ganga was Head of Teaching and Learning at Dominic College in Glenorchy, Tasmania.

​Ganga was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2018 to develop effective interventions that improve literacy and numeracy outcomes in Tasmanian schools. You can learn more about Ganga here.
