About St Gabriel's School
St Gabriel’s School is a leading education provider based in New South Wales, dedicated to supporting students with a high-quality learning environment. Like many schools, they face ongoing financial pressures from rising energy costs. As their team explained: “Rising energy prices have led to higher electricity and gas bills, which directly impacts our school’s budget. This has meant less flexibility in other areas, such as resourcing, maintenance, and student programs.” Managing outgoings is therefore critical to ensuring resources can be directed where they matter most: towards student learning and support.
How Zembl helped
Zembl consulted closely with St Gabriel’s School to understand their energy requirements and the pressures on their budget. Using market expertise, Zembl went to tender and secured a more competitive contract than the direct offer they had received from their retailer. While there were no specific savings recorded, the outcome delivered improved cost certainty and long-term stability, giving the school greater confidence in managing future budgets.
The process was straightforward: the school provided a letter of authority, Zembl went to market, and the new agreement was finalised smoothly. This ensured minimal disruption while giving the school stronger control over one of its largest operating expenses.
Reflecting on the experience, the school noted: “From start to finish, Zembl’s service has been professional and supportive. The team took the time to understand our school’s needs and provided clear options that helped us manage rising energy costs more effectively. The process was easy to follow, and communication was good throughout.”
