Victorian Education Excellence Awards

Nominations for the 2025 Victorian Education Excellence Awards (VEEA) are open. 

The Victorian Education Excellence Awards recognise the inspirational teachers, principals, assistant principals, business managers and education support staff who support children and young people to develop the skills, courage, and curiosity they need to succeed in life

All staff employed by the Victorian government in a Victorian government school can nominate themselves, their team or a colleague for the 2025 VEEA. However, nominees for the outstanding principal categories must be nominated by a peer or colleague.

Staff in specialist, rural, regional and P-9 or P-12 schools are eligible and encouraged to apply for either primary or secondary categories.

Winners will be announced at a presentation ceremony on Friday 24 October 2025.
