Outstanding Tasmanian teachers have been recognised for making a difference to the educational outcomes of Tasmanian students.
The Minister for Education and Skills, Nick McKim, today congratulated Brook High School Principal Shireen Thomas for winning the Tasmanian Branch Australian Council of Educational Leadership (ACEL) Fellowship at a special ceremony in Hobart.
“Shireen has been recognised for her significant and exemplary practice in leadership,” Mr McKim said.
“Principal of Guilford Young College, Hobart Barbara (Bobby) Court was awarded the 2011 Tasmanian Eminent Educational Leader for an extensive contribution to education over a significant time.
“The most important contributor to student achievement is top quality teachers and school leaders. That is why these awards are so important.”
Mr McKim also paid tribute to the four Tasmanian winners in the prestigious National Excellence in Teaching Awards (NEiTA).
“South Hobart Primary Principal Greg Turner, Havenview Primary School teacher Alison Luck, Riverside Primary School teacher Janine Hosking and Mackillop Catholic College teacher Timothy Johns have all been recognised for their teaching excellence in this year’s state awards,” Mr McKim said.
“NEiTA, now in its 18th year, is Australia’s only national, independent community-centred teaching awards program that gives Australian students, parents, early childhood and school communities the opportunity to nominate teachers who they believe to be committed, dedicated and outstanding representatives of the teaching profession.
“These talented Tasmanian winners will now go on to the next phase of the awards where 10 teachers from around the country vie for a national award.
“This is a fantastic achievement and my congratulations go to each of these outstanding Tasmanian teachers for making a real difference to the educational outcomes of our young Tasmanians.”
Other ACEL award winners include:
Young Educator of the Year awards:
Jen Clifton, of Huonville High School
Kylie Porthouse, of Claremont College
Cassandra O’Neil, of Star of the Sea Catholic College, George Town
Certificates of Excellence in Educational Leadership:
Michelle Muir, of Big Picture campus at Montrose High School
Greg Dwyer, of Sacred Heart Catholic School in Geeveston.
