Coinciding with Australia’s celebration of World Teachers’ Day on Friday 28 October 2011, NEiTA (National Excellence in Teaching Awards) and the Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) announced the names of the 60 teachers, principals, and directors honoured with NEiTA 2011 ASG Inspirational Teaching State and Territory Awards.
“World Teachers’ Day encourages celebration of the work of teachers within Australian communities,” Chairman of NEiTA, Mr Terry O’Connell said.
“It is a fitting day to announce the recipients of the NEiTA 2011 ASG Inspirational Teaching State and Territory
Awards.
“I congratulate the award recipients and applaud communities for taking the opportunity to thank and honour their excellent
teachers.
“There’s no doubt that quality teaching equals quality education. Every day, in millions of classrooms around the world, great teachers engage and connect with students, parents, peers and the community. They inspire their students to achieve their best,” Mr O’Connell said.

About NEiTA
The Australian Scholarships Group
(ASG) formed NEiTA (National Excellence In Teaching Awards) in 1994 to conduct a program of national awards
honouring exemplary teachers in Australian schools and early childhood
centres.
The awards promote public recognition of the teaching profession and specifically those teachers
and leaders whose
inspirational approach to education stimulates student learning.
NEiTA is Australia’s only national community-centred teaching awards program that gives Australian secondary
students, parents, early childhood education, and school communities the
opportunity to formally thank their hard-working, inspirational teachers,
principals and directors.

Every year the program calls on parents, school
councils, committees of management, secondary student councils and local community
organisations to identify teachers, principals and directors who are an inspiration to their students, to their
peers and to their community.
