Michael – Quality Education ManagerI was inspired to join WCS more than 18 years ago by the OSHC Coordinator at my children’s school. At the time, I was nearing the end of my teaching degree when they mentioned an upcoming coordinator position at another school. I took the leap, spent 14 years in that role, and loved it. When a management role became available, I saw it as an incredible opportunity to grow professionally and make a broader impact. I was excited about the chance to support and guide teams across all our education sites, ensuring we continue to deliver high-quality, enriching programs for children and families. |
Winnie – Casual OSHC EducatorEvery day at work feels like a trip back to my childhood, especially when I walk into work and hear so many kids excitedly shouting, “Hi Winnie!” Watching their skills develop and grow and to be part of their journey is such a joy. I recently graduated with a degree in Data Science, and I appreciate the flexibility WCS provides around my studies and career goals. It’s the perfect balance – I get to pursue my professional ambitions while staying connected to something rewarding: working with kids. |

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is working with kids. Seeing them thrive and express their true, authentic selves in such a supportive and nurturing environment is inspiring. |
