  • 59. Schole Explained: When it's Hard to Celebrate - Leisure, Part 4
    Josef Pieper connects our ability for festival and celebration with schole and leisure. If in our schools we manage our celebrations and justify them with key learnings and outcomes, and asses their relative success or failure against a checklist, it's likely our celebrations have become subsumed into the life of work. Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane.
