- Our Story -
We are a husband and wife team based in the beautiful High Country Hamlets in South East Queensland, Australia.
Applegum Learning is our passion project.
The Applegum Learning logo (designed by our artist-friend Ton Acuna) reflects what we advocate for and the values and life principles we try to uphold.
The seven leaves on top of the tree depict what we are aiming to promote through Applegum Learning:
-
Lifelong learning
-
Love for reading and storytelling
-
Enhancing critical thinking
-
Encouraging creativity
-
Recognising each one's uniqueness
-
Caring for our environment and
-
Collaboration
The five other leaves are the values we try to live by in our personal and professional lives: integrity, kindness, respect, courage and inclusiveness.
The open hands signify that literacy/books/reading/storytelling form part of the key foundations of learning that equip the next generation to become responsible citizens and contributing members of society.
When we're not working together on Applegum Learning, we are busy with our respective careers in IT project management and risk and quality management.
