Two outstanding educators in the Department for Education, Children and Young People have been recognised in the 2024 Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards, which celebrates educators across Australia who are making a transformative impact in their schools and community. 

Georgia Park from Cosgrove High School and Josh Salter from Burnie High School were among 12 teachers recognised across the country with 2024 Teaching Fellowships. 

Valued at $40,000, the Teaching Fellowship includes $25,000 to fund a strategic school project as well as a 12-month professional development program, including coaching and engagement with leading education experts to help further develop skills, networks and capabilities. 

The awards, presented by Schools Plus, provide financial support and professional development opportunities to the winning teachers, allowing them to further enhance their skills and broaden their impact on education.

Congratulations to Georgia and Josh – they deserve the recognition for all their hard work and dedication
