Testimonials

Dear Sarah,

As a fellow Australian Catholic University (ACU) Alumni it is with great pleasure and pride that \ write to congratulate you on being the recipient of the Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Leadership Alumni Award in ACU's Alumni Awards 2021.

Your outstanding work and commitment to improving the educational outcomes for children through dog therapy in schools is to be commended; and is testament to how the tailoring of educational tools to suit student needs has the power to change lives for the better. As a former teacher I know that access to a quality, and innovative education system is an important component in ensuring that our children have the skills and knowledge to lead successful lives, especially for those students with special needs. Thank you for your contribution in helping to achieve this positive outcome. Thank you also for the wonderful work you have continued to do during the last 2 very challenging years of COVID-19. You are indeed an exceptional and inspirational role model to not only to the school communities and others, whom you selflessly serve, but also to future ACU Alumni. Once again, congratulations on your award, and\ wish you further success in your career and future endeavours.

Yours sincerely,

Labor Senator for NSW
