Make a nomination for the Victorian Education Excellence Awards 2022
The Victorian Education Excellence Awards (VEEA) recognise the inspirational teachers, principals, business managers and education support staff who improve schools and support children and young people to develop the skills and learning outcomes they need to succeed in life.
Celebrate your own success, or the success of your colleagues, and nominate for an award in 2022. If you’re a principal, share your school improvement story and, if you work in education support, share how you connect students to their school and community.
Winners of each category will be awarded professional development grants up to $25,000 to continue in their endeavour for education excellence.
Nominations are open now for staff in government schools and close on 20 May 2022.
