Inspiring educators committed to helping the state’s children and young people discover their full potential were recognised at the 11th annual South Australian Public Education Awards ceremony last night.

Selected from a strong field of finalists, 10 winners were announced at the event, held to acknowledge the excellence and innovation demonstrated across the public education sector.

School and preschool-based winners were highly commended for their efforts in supporting both student learning and wellbeing.

Through the delivery of innovative initiatives, they have given students a voice in the classroom and engaged families in their child’s learning outcomes.

Winners outside the classroom stood out for their commitment to deliver world leading digital technology solutions in regional South Australia, and support for families through parent engagement initiatives.

The winner of each category receives $10,000 and two finalists from each category receive $2,000 to undertake professional learning or purchase resources for their school community.
