Goodbye Lela – Red Room
It’s been almost two years since Lela started
with us here at Kids Academy, and the whole
time we knew she would have to say goodbye
at some stage. Lela has recently completed her
Master’s in Education and is going to venture
into the world of school teachers this year. Lela
has been a casual in the centre and has worked
in the Red Room with Christie to provide a
great working partnership.
Lela, we all wish you the best of luck and thank
you for all your efforts while working here at
Kids Academy.

Lela from our
