Survey response
People have said to me they came to our school because of the OSHC service… the reason that they chose us was the consistency in Jabiru as compared to the other school.
Stakeholder Interview
The centre is doing great and Jack’s had an awesome year with you guys. It’s also really nice to see a mix of male and female staff. I often notice Jack chatting with Carson and playing soccer etc and it’s so nice to see! He always says hi to us and the team are always so nice and friendly!
Survey Response
Distinguished from other organisations, Jabiru understands community is an intentional practice that provides what we find to be a unique third space… At the heart of the Jabiru philosophy and practice of community is the creation of a genuine sense of belonging for children.
