Education Minister Grace Grace has today congratulated local schools recognised in Queensland’s 2022 Showcase Awards for Excellence in Schools, with The Summit State School and Warwick State High School among those recognised.
Now in its 23rd year, Minister Grace said the Showcase Awards are widely regarded as the most prestigious educational awards in Queensland, showcasing excellence in education, innovation, and leadership.
“One of the privileges of my job as Education Minister is to meet the outstanding teachers and educators delivering innovative and world-class opportunities for our young Queenslanders,” Ms Grace said.
“The quality of submissions for this year’s awards was once again exceptional and extremely competitive, making the task of selecting award winners all the more difficult for the regional judging teams.
“To be named as one of the 27 regional winners, or as one of the 24 to receive a commendation, is a significant accolade for these schools and it’s an important recognition of their contribution to the state’s education system.
“I congratulate each and every one of them, and wish them all the best in the next rounds which will determine our state finalists, and ultimately our state winners.”
The below projects in the region (Darling Downs and Southern Downs) received commendations:
Network 10 Showcase Award for Excellence in the Early and Primary Years category
– The Summit State School, Visible Learning
– Hatton Vale State School, PAGES in Action: Teaching Writing
TUH Health Fund Showcase Award for Excellence in Inclusive Education category
– Warwick State High School, Inclusion Journey: A whole school approach to differentiation
– Wilsonton State School, The Hardest Change, Mindset Change
The 27 regional award winners will be whittled down to a smaller number of state finalists next month, before the overall winners across the 10 categories are announced at a conference in Brisbane in October 2022.
Winners will receive up to $10,000.
