"Thank you for caring for my daughter as much as we her parents do. It’s evident when we drop her off she’s so happy to be there and though we’d love to be able to have her every day with us, we’re so happy to leave her somewhere that she’s happy to be at."

"Thank you so much for the training in regards to being a great influence as an educational leader for my team. Given the circumstances at the present stage, it worked well using Zoom to be able to communicate with one another. I would definitely recommend anybody who’d like to further enhance their knowledge on the role of the educational leader to undertake this training as I have found it very beneficial."

"A big thank you to everyone who has put in so much work behind the scenes to keep things fun and normal for the kids during all the challenges this year. Planning, comms, cleaning, constant changes are very hard and thanks for getting it right, getting it done in addition to spending quality time with the kids. My personal life and career wouldn’t have been as good without all of Gowrie’s achievements."

"I would just like to let you all know that I have been so happy with the centre and all the staff, educators and teachers. My kids have really grown fond of everyone there and seem so happy each and every day they attend. You have definitely exceeded my expectations as a child care centre and I have recommended you to many friends and family. A huge thank you!!"

"I chose to study at Gowrie Victoria because two qualified teachers I know started out here and they said it was amazing. They learnt a lot. So I took their advice and now I am happy here too. I am managing the workload, am enjoying the class and my classmates, and enjoying the sessions."
Student
"We had our first meeting with one group of educators and the attitude is completely changed! They are so keen and motivated, are taking on more roles and their knowledge has increased. The program was so beneficial and we are in such a better place now - instead of resistance there is an understanding and an eagerness to go forward. Your support last year is so appreciated!"
