Brett Henebery is the editor and lead news reporter of The Educator, one of Australia's leading publications covering K-12 and higher education. Over a decade with the publication, he has built and shaped a portfolio spanning Australia's schools, universities, and the broader APAC education landscape.

With 12 years of editorial experience in education journalism, Brett brings deep sector knowledge to every story he covers. His specialty areas include best-practice teaching, education technology, and education reform β€” translating complex policy and pedagogical developments into clear, authoritative content for education professionals and school leaders.

Brett's long tenure at The Educator has given him rare insight into the evolving pressures facing Australian educators, from curriculum reform and EdTech adoption to workforce challenges across the sector.

Outside of his editorial work, Brett is an avid traveler and musician β€” interests that inform a grounded, human perspective in his writing.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“I cover education through the people and decisions shaping it β€” from the challenges confronting school leaders to the ideas and innovations that can make a real difference in schools. I’m interested in what’s happening beneath the headlines, and in telling stories that give educators useful insight, perspective and something to think about.”
