Bob’s Story
Jan 4, 2020
PROJECT DETAILS
Alexander Hayes met with Robert Morley in 2018 in Broome Western Australia just prior to what was two weeks of tumultuous cyclonic weather.
Robert had been trapped inside his caravan dwelling and the damage resulted in his hospitalisation and a complete reshuffle of Roberts life. Shortly after Robert agreed to feature in a short biographical film triggering in early 2019 the decision to write a publication about Roberts life in entirety.
Robert Morley, a veteran of specialist teaching, education and managing mixed ability children provides an account of his life and journey in self-awareness and personal growth.
BIOGRAPHICAL ASSAY
A commission base was established to fund this project and Alexander Hayes set about listening and composing the publication over a six (6) month period. The manuscript was peer reviewed and all drafts were carefully scrutinised by Roberts Son, Ben and his extended Family. The book also includes multiple historical photos drawn from Family albums and from online records.
MEDIA RELEASE
“...The journey of Robert Morley in his emancipation through self awareness and in acceptance of life's experiences over seven decades in Australia.”
Robert Morley is a respected Educator with a long term history of working and residing in Townsville, Queensland in Australia. Over four decades Robert’s work in the education sector and across many community based initiatives including teaching on Palm Island have resulted in his renowned development of curriculum for working with children of mixed abilities, their Families and the many organisations who support these Families.
This book launch is an important occasion, marking in Australian history the shift to a more inclusive understanding of equality and freedom from discrimination which are ‘fundamental human rights that belong to all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity’. Robert has courageously provided an insight into his life through a biography written by Alexander Hayes, PhD.
