scholarship

Helen Stephen was the Kindergarten Teacher at LGT Battery Point 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. Helen’s legacy will live on through many of her qualities that resonated with those who were fortunate to have known, loved and worked with her. To honour her legacy, LGT provides a scholarship in Helen’s memory which is awarded annually to a LGT educator who has committed to undertake study towards gaining an early childhood degree qualification.

This award is announced at our AGM in November each year, and past recipients have been able to use their scholarship prize to help pay for the cost of commencing study or to purchase study essentials such as a laptop. Applications are now open for the 2025 Helen Stephens Memorial scholarship. Information about how to apply can be obtained from Shanna, General Manager of Education and Care, by sending her an email at shanna.hughes@gowrie-tas.com.au.

Applications close on Friday the 18^th of October.
