Powerful Schools seeks to release the creative vision within all educators, and show how schools can lead the way in establishing structures and practices that will support young people to become productive members of a global society. If educators are liberated to recognise that the vast potential of schools need not be constrained by expectations about qualifications, curriculum, the length of the school day, or physical buildings, then their imagination soars, as does their capacity for invention. Powerful Schools is a blueprint, showing how each and every school can grow abundantly rich in opportunities for individuals to develop the skills to become more socially and globally mobile, actively supported by numerous people and organisations who are consciously working to engage them in making the most of these opportunities.

Helen Wright was the founder and the first head coach of the University of Alberta's Pandas rugby team. She was a pioneer in establishing women's rugby as a provincial, national, and international sport - defying stereotypes at a time when the sport was dominated by men - primarily through leading by example as a player, coach, and administrator. Rugby's inclusiveness, related to both ability levels and physical diversity of players, was the key factor in Wright's commitment and advocacy for the sport. Raised in Williams Lake, B.C., Wright came to Edmonton to study psychology at the University of Alberta. She was introduced to rugby as a spectator in 1977 and started playing in the position of "hooker". Wright represented Alberta from 1986-1988, and she participated in the first Rugby Canada women's national team game against the USA in Victoria in November 1987. Wright served as managing director of the Alberta Rugby Union from 1987-2001, exerting significant influence over the continuing development of youth and women's rugby in the province. Wright led the Pandas for five seasons - 1999 to 2003 - and secured five successive national championships. She coached the Rugby Canada U23 Women in 2005 when they defeated the USA in two test matches. Her formal coaching qualifications included Level 1 and 2 International Rugby Board Coach Trainer, Levels 1, 2, and 3 of the National Coaching Certification Program. Wright became the CIS Coaches Association President (Rugby) and oversaw the preparation of the documentation to keep women's rugby and include men's rugby in the CIS (Canadian Intervarsity Sport).
