It's been 20 years since
HeadStart Learning Centre was established in Bundaberg. It's been an absolute joy and honour to teach hundreds of students over this time and witness their lives transform, not only academically, but emotionally.
Thank you to the parents who entrusted their children's education with us at HeadStart. I've been truly blessed to work with so many amazing, dedicated staff over these years. HeadStart would not have been the success it has, without you.
As this chapter of my life comes to a close, my heart is full. It is full of love for a dream that came to fruition, the lives that touched mine, the beautiful relationships formed, and for that, my heart will be forever grateful.
With love in abundance, Alison
