To celebrate School Support Staff Recognition Week 2023, we asked you to nominate a school support staff member who deserves to be recognised for making education happen. Our selection panel found it challenging to select only 8 winners out of so many strong nominations, one from each Department of Education Queensland school region.
But 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 $600 prize pack, which includes a $100 Coles Myer gift card for themselves, and $500 Officeworks gift card for their school to support student education.1
