To celebrate School Support Staff Recognition Week 2024, we asked you to nominate a school support staff member who goes above and beyond to make learning happen. It was a really hard task to choose just 1 winner from each of the 8 Department of Education school regions. On top of those 8, we were also delighted to recognise another school support person who's leading the way to drive more connected learning from outside the school environment.
We are grateful to everyone who took the time to nominate a school support staff member to show appreciation for their contributions.
Each winner will get a $650 prize pack, which includes a $150 Coles Myer gift card for themselves and a $500 Officeworks gift card for their school to support student education.1 Plus the person who nominated the winner will receive a $50 Coles Myer gift card.
