A Depth of Gratitude

A Churchill Fellowship is a deeply personal endeavour. The pursuit of knowledge for the betterment of Australia requires immense commitment. I deeply appreciate being selected by The Northern Districts Education Centre (Sydney) under their sponsorship with the Churchill Trust to support leaders in developing best practice models for Out of School Hours Care (OSHC).

 

From the initial application and interview process to the journey itself, every aspect centres on a fellow's specific goals. This undertaking demands a significant investment of time—hundreds of hours spent on planning, preparation, booking, and travel arrangements. I am profoundly grateful to my family, friends, and colleagues for their unwavering support, love, guidance, and assistance throughout this journey.

 

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to The Northern Districts Education Centre (Sydney), particularly to Peter Merry, a steward of the sponsorship. I look forward to the opportunities this brings to help me continue my Fellowship journey and to share and grow my knowledge and networks.

 

My heartfelt thanks also go to those I visited, who generously offered their time, insights, and help. There are too many people to thank individually but know that each of you is represented in the words and photos within these pages. Blessings to you all, and my deepest gratitude.
