Our first event celebrating QEC’s 100 years was held with the Jona Sensory Children’s Garden opening, today Wednesday 31st May 2017. Photographic images, historical memorabilia were on display with a mixture of images and stories from 1917 to 2017. A great celebration for all those before the current organization and the great work that has been achieved over the century. Further events and collaborations throughout 2017 are being planned.

QEC Therapeutic Gardens - Jona Sensory Children's Garden construction completed
We are excited to announce the completion of construction of our Jona Children's Sensory Garden. A beautiful therapeutic outdoor space for our families to relax, learn and grow. We look forward to the official opening of the small fences coming down when the plants have matured. It is lovely to see our families and staff enjoying the calming space.
