  • Michael Rowe – Principal at St Rita’s Babinda

    The crew at Traces of Learning have completely transformed the level of engagement among our students, and how they interact with the curriculum at St Rita’s. They went above and beyond to truly understand our school and community context, far removed from a one-size-fits-all approach. Our children now skip to school, knowing that the day will be filled with awesome discoveries, that their voice will be well and truly heard, and their unique opinion and experience will be honoured.

    The Traces of Learning Team have been instrumental in shaping not only our pedagogy but also the vision and mission of our educators. Our data shows that our children have never been so enthused to be at school, our attendance has improved immensely as the students have increased say on their learning and are immersed in the ways of the world around them.

  • Renae Gentile – Principal at Mary Queen of Heaven

    Traces Coaching has provided a safe space for open and authentic dialogue. We have challenged and been challenged been vulnerable and supported and supportive. It has often provoked more questions than answers but allowed us to rumble with ideas, strategies, vision, and philosophy. 

    The depth of discussion and growth in self and leadership has been life-changing.

    The commitment to growth, the level of trust, and the quality of our relationship have been the catalyst for its ongoing success.

  • Aoife McCarthy – Principal at Holy Cross Primary School

    Gemma exudes a wealth of knowledge and experience. She skillfully engaged me in a series of coaching conversations, ensuring that the end goal was my personal and professional growth as a leader. Having experienced such a strong coaching model, I am confident in applying this knowledge in my practice, benefiting the team I now lead.

  • Hobsonville Point Primary School Team

    “What amazing professional development we received. I'm feeling very inspired and excited to trial the ideas I gained. Gemma, Jarryd, Haley, and Chevon were very knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive to our group.”

    “High-impact learning and inspiration from the moment we arrived throughout our short encounter. Bringing back a space and time that was familiar to dance with joy and marvel in the mundane! Ngā mihi nui to both you and your team Gemma & Jarryd!”

    “This is hands down the best professional learning I have experienced in my 17 years as an educator”

    “Finally we have been able to implement straight away some changes on our first day back - not just one or two but everyone! How many times have you been to a Professional learning session and you haven't changed anything. I can't tell you how much our two days have meant to me as an educator of many years.”
