After a fantastic round of nominations, The Educator is proud to announce the excellence awardees for the Australian Education Awards 2022.
The Australian Education Awards, now in their fifth year, recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the country’s top performing schools, principals, department heads and teachers.
The Awards will be presented in 28 categories, including Australian School of the Year, Australian Principal of the Year, Best Professional Learning Program and Best Student Wellbeing Program.
Partnering with The Educator for the Awards this year will be Education Perfect, a curriculum aligned teaching and learning platform for Years 5-12 students, teachers and parents.
"We are delighted to be the event partner for the Australian Education Awards," Ian Pedler, Education Perfect’s head of ANZ, told The Educator.
"The awards are important recognition of the outstanding work of school teachers and school leaders that is demonstrated on a daily basis."
Pedler said he looks forward to seeing teachers and students return to the classroom following the disruption of the last two years.
"Technology has played an important part in supporting teaching and learning during the pandemic, and I know teachers will continue to embrace technology in the classroom as part of the teaching toolbelt," he said.
"The evening will be a great opportunity to reflect and celebrate the many successes of Australia's education sector."
Without further ado, here are the Excellence Awardees for the Australian Education Awards 2022.
