It has just been announced that Peter Gurrier-Jones is one of the Top 50 Finalists in the Teacher Prize, established by the Varkey Foundation. The Global Teacher Prize recognises and celebrates the impact that exceptional teachers have around the world-not only on their students, but also on their communities. Peter is one of only two Australian teachers to make it through to the Final 50. This is a tremendous achievement. When commenting on what it meant to make it through to the Final 50, Peter stated that his nomination was a sensational acknowledgement "of the work and love of all the teachers, support staff, families and community who help kids at The hills School learn and succeed." The Top 10 finalists will be announced in February and the final winner of the award will be announced in Dubai on Sunday 24 March 2019. Making it through to Final 50 also provides a great opportunity to help others know and learn about our wonderful and amazing students. We wish Peter all the very best for the final rounds of the award process. Congratulations!
