Philip with his wife Faye founded the Fitzroy Community School in 1976.  This innovative school takes 65 children aged 5 to 12, emphasising self-confidence and communication skills.

The school has a very high standard of English and has contributed to national literacy levels by publishing its own reading materials, known as the Fitzroy Readers , and supplying them to over 3000 Australian schools.

Philip responds with an Open Submission to the Review of the RSB . The RSB is the agency of the Victorian Education Department which registers (permits to exist) and reviews (inspects) non-government schools.

Philip also founded COBBERs , a movement to counteract the growing stranglehold of bureaucracy on the modern way of life.

Philip summarises the case for Reform of the School Funding System in Australia, giving parents greater choice and children greater access to both state-run and independent schooling.
