THE FEEDBACK FROM THE MAY 2025 Conference
WAS AWESOME.
Hi Geraldine,
Thank you so much for sending through and organising the gift for Jelena—it was such a lovely gesture!
Kate and I had a fantastic experience and have already mentioned this conference to other colleagues in similar roles. We met wonderful people and found the entire event to be incredibly insightful—both professionally and personally.
A special thank you to you, Tony, and the team for putting together such a meaningful conference.
Thank you
Kim
PA to Head of Senior School, PEMBROKE SA
Good morning, Geraldine & Tony
Thank you so much for sharing Fran’s presentation, it would be great to have access to Kristy’s as well, if possible.
Last week’s conference was brilliant. I came away feeling very empowered and validated in my role as EA to the Principal. Next week we will be hosting the Term 2 WA Principals EA-PA Network afternoon where we will be having a panel discussion about the Principal-EA relationship. I was so nervous about being on the panel, however, thanks to Kristy and Fran, I’m feeling much more confident.
I will be recommending to everyone in the Network to attend next year’s National Conference. Do you happen to have a date set yet?
Georgia, EA to the Principal, PENRHOS
Thanks so much, Geraldine.
The conference was excellent. The speakers were amazing, and it was a wonderful opportunity to connect with so many other fantastic and inspiring EAs. Thanks also for arranging the very thoughtful gift for Jelena. I’m in awe of Jelena’s strength and her grace in being there on Thursday given the circumstances. What an incredible woman and such a PRO!
Thank you to you and the team!
Kind regards
Jacky, Executive Assistant to the CEO, Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association, Qld
Hi Geraldine and team
Now we are back at work and caught up (as much as you can be in a school!) Kim and I wanted to message and thank you for a wonderful conference. Each speaker was spot on, the topics were great and the workbook, plus emailed slides provided afterwards, were fantastic. We have both provided the Principal with a report each, from different perspectives as we have quite different positions here, so fingers crossed we might be able to attend in the future again .

Hi Geraldine
Just a quick email to say thank you for an absolutely fabulous conference. I learnt so much, met many wonderful people (including yourself) and had the best time in such a wonderful city!
Thank you too for sending the care package to Jelena from all of us!
I will hopefully get to attend another one of your conferences in the future, as we have a lot more to chat about regarding Africa
Kind regards

Good morning Tony and Geraldine
Thank you for hosting such a fantastic conference last week. It was thoroughly enjoyable and the networking opportunities were endless.
Bronwyn, EA to the Principal, SOMERVILLE HOUSE, QLD
Dear Geraldine
Thank you so much for accommodating Kim and I last week. We had the best time. Met some really fantastic people including yourself, Tony, Janet and Tanya. I have a number of exciting take aways, tips, and tricks that I look forward to implementing from tomorrow at work.
I hope Kim and I get a chance to come back next year and be part of the next instalment including the possible training day/days. It all sounds very exciting. We very much enjoyed the guest speakers this year. Jalena was amazing. I went straight home and watched her doco over the weekend and have downloaded her audiobook.
Kind regards
Kate, PEMBROKE, SA

Feedback from the 2023 conference:
Dear Geraldine
Many thanks for organising for these presentations to come to us.
What a great conference it was. The three of us from Rangi felt it was one of the best we had attended. So much great information, especially about our personal wellbeing, resilience, confidence building – just hit the spot for me. As always it was fabulous to connect with other EAs – so much is gained from that interaction. And it was so lovely to see you and Tony again.
Thank you for the time and energy you put into pulling these conferences together for us – can’t wait to come again!
With very best wishes
Pauline
Good afternoon Geraldine,
Thank you so much for the great conference last week. It was the first one I had attended and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I met some lovely ladies as well as gaining some useful knowledge from the presentations.
I hope to be able to join next year.
Kind regards
