This article presents research into an award winning case study ofpedagogical school renewal. The case is set in a small, rural primaryschool in Queensland, Australia. The ordinary approach of a staffmember and student from the local university spending time at theschool as Visiting Teachers became extraordinary when the adultslistened to the wonder of the children about their own history, cultureand context, and then trusted the children to plan, carry-out andcreatively present phenomenological research.

As well as case study description, this article lists theproject outcomes and evidence, and poses principles of transformativeschooling
