Yesterday’s participation in the Eastern Suburbs regional OOSH network was truly inspiring. Observing OOSH leaders actively supporting each other and sharing information was a heartening experience. The unity among OOSHies is undeniably influential! It is widely acknowledged that OOSHies learn significantly from one another, and it was wonderful to witness this firsthand. We are all aware of the power of collaborative partnerships with schools, so it was again inspiring to listen to Matt Townsend – Coogee School Principal – discuss what constitutes a great partnership between OOSH and schools. Special thanks to the Coogee team for hosting the event and to Jenny Collins – Coogee Care Centre Director for playing a key role in bringing everyone together.
Remember to reserve your spot at the Network conference, where you can engage in more inspiring discussions.
