Debbie Gilmore Executive Director, The Arrowsmith Program

Debbie has enjoyed a varied career in educational leadership, and now is helping bring about an educational revolution. As teacher, literacy adviser, assistant principal, principal and administrator, Debbie always sought programs that were innovative, inclusive and made a meaningful impact in the lives of students. When she found Arrowsmith, it transformed her understanding of what was possible. After spearheading an initiative to bring Arrowsmith to schools in Sydney’s Catholic Education Office where she was Head of Diverse Learning, Debbie joined Arrowsmith as Executive Director. Since 2013 she has been leading the strategic growth and development of Arrowsmith, and every day speaks to educational leaders about the power and potential that cognitive programming can have in deepening life long learning experiences. As a parent she has seen first hand how Arrowsmith can transform the brains and lives of students and the community that surrounds them.
