Endeavour College - Stories of Endeavour
Did you know that over 40% of all students at Endeavour College speak at least one language other than English at home? In fact, together, we represent approximately 45 nations and 7 continents. This cultural tapestry is only one aspect of the diversity that makes us special and although we are a Christian school, we practice many different religions and spiritualities. We know that each and every one of us has a unique story to tell. Through the conversations in this podcast series, we will share some of our stories, learn about each other, and celebrate the power and value of storytelling. Some stories will entertain you, some will move you, others will inspire you or surprise you. In this podcast series you will hear stories of Love, Courage, Forgiveness, and Hope. Stories of hardship, of triumph, and Stories of Endeavour.
This podcast series is proudly produced on Kaurna Country by students and staff at Endeavour College. If you would like to share your story with us, we would love to hear from you! And remember... we all have a story to tell.

Episode 2 - With Michael Brown, Member for Florey
Michael Brown is a friend of an Endeavour and a parent in our community.
He was born in the Northern suburbs and resides in Florey with his wife and their three daughters.
After starting work as a busboy at age 15, Michael went on to a successful career as a professional in the IT sector and as an adviser to government on economic development. He also spent six years as State Secretary of South Australian Labor, after which he served as the Chief Executive of an Adelaide law firm and as Chief of Staff to the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion.
Michael was elected as the Member for Playford in March 2018 and, following an electoral redistribution, was elected in March 2022 as the Member of Florey. It has been Michael’s privilege to serve on a number of Parliamentary Committees, including as the Chair of the Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence and as a member of the Committee on the Establishment of Adelaide University. His current membership includes the Legislative Review Committee, the Public Works Committee and the Statutory Officers Committee.
This is his story.
