Entries now open: 5-Star Innovative Schools 2026

Innovation in education isn’t standing still, and neither are Australia’s schools. From bold teaching models to cutting-edge campus design and community-led initiatives, educators across the country are pushing boundaries and setting new standards for what learning can be.

Now in its 12th year, The Educator’s 5-Star Innovative Schools continues to recognise the institutions leading that transformation, shining a national spotlight on the ones that are challenging the status quo and delivering real impact where it matters most. 

If your school has launched a standout initiative within the past year—whether it’s rethinking curriculum, enhancing student wellbeing, or pioneering new technologies—this is your opportunity to gain the recognition you deserve. 

Submit your entry by Friday, 7 August, and be at the forefront of the industry. 

5-Star Innovative Schools 2026, proudly supported by the Australian Boarding Schools Association, will be featured on the website in December.
