Nominations are now open for the Victorian Education Excellence Awards – recognising government schools, principals, teachers, and administrators who are at the top of their class.
The awards acknowledge excellence in inclusive education and Koorie education teams, as well as early career teachers, and those supporting high-ability students.
The awards also support the continued professional development of staff, with professional learning grants of $20,000 available for each individual award winner, and $25,000 for each team award.
The winner of the Lindsay Thompson Award for Excellence in Education, which honours Victoria’s longest serving education minister and former Premier will receive a further professional learning grant of $20,000.
Education Minister Ben Carroll said he encourages all schools to nominate innovative teachers, principals, support staff and teams making a real difference for the next generation.
“Teachers and school staff are some of our most talented people and the work they do enriches the lives of so many young students,” he said.
Nominations are made at a school level and open until May 20.
The winners of the 2024 Victorian Education Excellence Awards will be announced on Friday, October 25, the day Victoria celebrates World Teachers’ Day.
