Most Likely to Succeed

Edwards + Simpson in conjunction with Punchbowl Primary School are delighted to be hosting a screening of Most Likely To Succeed on 24 August 2016 from 6:30 to 9:30pm at Punchbowl Primary School Hall, Punchbowl Road, Newstead.

Most Likely To Succeed is a ground-breaking film that examines the history of education in the United States, revealing the growing shortcomings of conventional school methods in todayʼs innovative world. The film inspires its audiences with a sense of purpose and possibility, and is bringing school communities together in re-imagining what our students and teachers are capable of doing. After seeing this film, you’ll never look at school the same way again.

"Most Likely to Succeed provides a new vision of what is possible in today’s schools...This film should be watched by every caring parent and educator who wants to improve the learning process."
Cindy Johanson, Edutopia

Directed by acclaimed documentarian Greg Whiteley, the film has been named “among the best edu-documentaries ever produced” by Education Week, and called a “smart and engaging look at education in the 21st century” by The Hollywood Reporter. Film Threat stated that “this film should be a required course for all parents and educators.” Most Likely To Succeed is an official selection of many of the America's top film festivals, including the prestigious 2015 Sundance Film Festival and 2015 Tribeca Film Festival.

Event Information

Edwards + Simpson is an award winning creative consultancy specialising in facilities planning and design. We are extremely passionate about education and the role of design in shaping the future of authentic learning environments. 

We are excited to bring Most Likely to Succeed to Launceston for its Tasmanian Premiere. After seeing the film earlier this year at the Association for Learning Environments Conference in Melbourne we were inspired to bring it to Tasmania to give teachers, parents, and students the opportunity to see the film for themselves and stimulate thoughtful discussion about the future of our schools and our children. 

We wish to invite all educators, parents and other groups interested in innovations in learning to attend this free screening.

There will be opportunity for informal discussion and conversations on the future of Tasmanian education directly after the film. Beer and wine will be available for purchase. Please stick around to discuss this important topic with us, we would love to hear your opinion on the film.
