The Commonwealth Bank are now inviting applications and nominations for the 2021 Commonwealth Bank Teaching Awards. After a year of challenges, this is a wonderful opportunity to recognise teachers and school leaders for their passion and commitment to education.
The Teaching Awards, an initiative Schools Plus runs in partnership with the Commonwealth Bank, celebrate great teaching and leadership in schools across the Government, Catholic and Independent sectors in Australia, recognising those who innovate, inspire and create change for their students.
Please consider applying for this award or nominating a deserving educator you know. The selected 12 outstanding educators will each receive a $45,000 Teaching Fellowship, which includes:
- $10,000 to support their professional development
- $25,000 for a major school project
- a group visit to a high-performing education system
Educators working in schools in disadvantaged communities are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications for the Awards are open from 14 September 2020 – 16 October 2020.
