We're excited to announce that our school principal, Mr Peter Gurrier-Jones, was one of 12 inspiring teachers and principals named as a Teaching Fellow in the 2018 Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards.
The Federal Minister for Education and Training, Senator Simon Birmingham, presented Peter with his Award in Sydney on Friday the 23rd of March, at a ceremony attended by guests from the education, business and philanthropy sectors including David Gonski AC.
The Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards are co-presented by the Commonwealth Bank and Schools Plus. They were created to recognise and reward great teachers and principals, especially those working in challenging and socially diverse communities. This is the second year of the Awards, Australia's largest award of its kind for educators.
Each Fellowship is valued at $45,000, which includes funding for professional development, a significant project in the Fellow's school, and an overseas study tour to a high-performing education system.
Congratulations Peter on your incredible achievement!
