Top educators recognised in ACEL excellence in teaching awards in Perth
Top educators from across Western Australia have been recognised by the Australian Council for Educational Leaders in its annual awards for excellence in teaching.
ACEL is Australia’s leading independent body for educational leadership.
Among the recipients was Ms Annie Fogarty of the Fogarty Foundation, who was awarded the top prize of Pre-Eminent Educator for her work championing programs that have a long-term impact on improving educational outcomes for Western Australians.
ACEL Western Australia President, Keith Newton, said the awards reflected the phenomenal work being undertaken at all educational levels across the state.
“For the past three years, ACEL has very consciously built alliances across all sectors and levels of education in Western Australia,” Mr Newton said.
