AUSTRALIA’S BEST TEACHERS

NOMINATE NOW

Julia Dale St Margaret’s Primary School, Maribyrnong VIC

Julia is acutely aware of her students’ needs and develops her teaching practise accordingly. I am yet to see her get angry or frustrated with a child and she treats all her students with the utmost respect and dignity. She has had some challenging behaviours to deal with and she deals with each individual with such compassion. Julia is such a calm and caring teacher who guides her students to strive to reach their goals.

Sarah is the most caring teacher I have ever met. She really cares for each student. Sarah listens to each one of her students and always has time for them even though she has a huge workload.

Vince Tavernese St Leo’s Wahroonga, NSW

Along with his music department colleague Fiona Milkins, Mr Tavernese’s input and support helped turn my son from someone who was disinterested and disengaged at school to someone who is involved, confident and has purpose. They did this by focusing on building his musical contribution to the school – and that has spilled through into other areas of schooling. Thank you! - Nominated by Justin Lees

Danielle Thummler Fox Cabarita Mortlake Kindergarten, NSW

Danielle is one of a kind. She always gives 110 per cent, she has the most amazing sense of humour, is able to relate to children in a way that most can only aspire to. We appreciate her efforts and her massive heart.
