NATIONAL EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARDS (NEITA) NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN

The NEiTA Foundation is encouraging parents/caregivers, students and schools to nominate extraordinary educators who have displayed remarkable dedication, passion and creativity for a National Excellence in Teaching Award. For almost three decades, the NEITA, supported by Futurity Investment Group, has recognised Australia and New Zealand’s most inspirational and deserving educators. This year, NEiTA wants to recognise the role early childhood, primary and secondary teachers and principals played in student’s lives as Australia emerged from the COVID-19 health crisis. 

Previous NEiTA Award winners from Sacred Heart include Mrs Tanya Atherton (Head of Gifted and Talented) and Mr Peter Bothe (Former Principal).

This year's categories for high school teachers are listed below:

• Apple Award - To acknowledge outstanding teachers who’ve gone above and beyond for their students.
• NEiTA Founders’ Principals Award for Leadership - In recognition of outstanding stewardship of student education and welfare, and exemplary school community leadership in a year of pandemic.
• The Smith Family NEiTA Award for Powering Potential - In recognition of an outstanding educator for inspiring students experiencing disadvantage to achieve their full potential.
• Teacher Mentor Award - In recognition of outstanding peer mentoring and exemplary sharing of professional practice.
• NEiTA Early Career Teaching Award - In recognition of the teacher’s ability to more than meet the specific learning needs of students within a few years of entering the teaching profession.
• Futurity Parents’ Award - In acknowledgment of being adjudged the best teacher nominated by a Futurity member.

Nominations can be made until Sunday 17 July at www.neita.com
