On Saturday night, 26 October 2019, 488 guests and finalists descended onto Sydney's prestigious Shangri-La Hotel, The Rocks, to find out who are the winners of the 2019 Excellence in Early Childhood Education Awards.

With an all-time new record set for the largest number in attendance, and with 120 people still on the waiting list for tickets, the Gala Awards Night was electric, to say the least! The complete set of photos are available via our Facebook webpage.
