CJ, Campus Corner Early Childhood Centre, Nelson

Karen, A big thank you to both you and Liz. I am thoroughly enjoying the aspiring leaders programme.

Sherilee Swanepoel, Principal, Oratia District School

Our group felt that this PD day was the right thing at exactly the right time and whilst you may not have been aware of this during the first hour of the day, I could almost hear ‘light bulbs’ pinging on. The best thing about it too was that it was a tipping point for us as a group.… Read the rest

You took us on a journey into new regions of thinking and like Star… Read the rest
