2024 HELEN STEPHEN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT

At last year’s Annual General Meeting Nic Stephen, Lady Gowrie Tasmania Board member and son of Helen Stephen, had the pleasure of announcing Hui Yuan as the recipient of the 2024 Helen Stephen Memorial Scholarship:

‘Hui started her journey at Lady Gowrie Tasmania in 2018 and is currently a diploma-qualified Educator at our Kingston Education and Care Service. Throughout her career, Hui has worked with children across all age groups and supporting children’s play and learning is at the centre of all her work.

Hui has always shown an interest in challenging herself to learn new knowledge and skills, seeking out professional development opportunities whenever she can. She is a highly valued member of our team, and her colleagues appreciate her willingness to share her valuable thoughts and ideas.’

Helen Stephen was the Kindergarten Teacher at our Battery Point Education and Care Service for 25 years and during this time she played an important role in the lives of many children and their families. She also influenced the pedagogy and practice of many early childhood professionals with whom she came into contact.

To honour this legacy, LGT provides an annual scholarship in Helen’s memory to a LGT educator who has committed to undertake study towards an early childhood degree qualification. We thank the Stephen family for their attendance at the AGM each year in support of the scholarship program, further testament to the rich history between LGT and the Stephen family.

Congratulations Hui and we look forward to following your professional learning journey at Lady Gowrie Tasmania over the coming years.
