Australia Day Honours 2018

Congratulations to our teachers who were awarded with Australia Day Honours. You are an inspiration for your leaders.

It is wonderful to see registered teachers being recognised by one of Australia’s most prestigious awards, and it shows how much the community recognises the importance of and respects those working in the education sector.

Applications approved for majority of graduates

We look forward to having all graduate teachers registered for the start of the school year. We are currently processing all the information supplied by education providers including the new Literacy and Numeracy Test results.
