“To see job seekers, who have arrived in Australia with little or no English language skills, settled into a job makes me very happy. I feel very proud of them because I know it’s not easy to move to another country and start a new life.”

Congratulations Payge

“I have a great sense of responsibility teaching them at such an impressionable and important age. Toilet training, tying shoelaces, just seeing the look on their faces when they finally achieve doing it themselves. You can only get that feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment from kids.”
