Kate Pennington - Beyond a Joke

Everyday Connection

Kate has worked many years in long day care centres, pre-schools, kindergartens and managed Before and After school Centres as well as a Nanny agency. Furthering her skills, Kate studied adolescents with behavioural problems becoming a foster mother opening her home as emergency accommodation for adolescents who could no longer live at home. Kate created and built Beyond A Joke in her brother Bruce’s memory and to assist with teenagers facing bullying today within the community, online and so forth. Kate’s aim is to empower teenagers and build them up to be strong, compassionate and caring human beings. Beyond A Joke is creating a domino effect of kindness throughout communities to outweigh the negative effects of aggression and bullying. http://www.beyondajoke.com.au/
