🎉 Celebrating Our 2025 ELC Achievement Awards!

What an incredible evening celebrating the passion, growth, and dedication of our Early Learning Connection participants, partners, and educators! 🌟

ELC recognises the inspiring journeys of those who are shaping the future of early childhood education - from those taking their first steps towards a qualification, to those leading the way through mentorship and advocacy.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us on the night, and to our partners and supporters who continue to empower the professional growth and wellbeing of our early learning workforce across the ACT. 💛

Swipe through to see some highlights from the night, moments of connection, celebration, and our ELC Community.

Thank you University of Canberra for having us at UC Open Day Fest a couple of weeks ago - It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with future potential educators!
