Australian Education Awards

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN THE K-12 EDUCATION

The annual Australian Education Awards, brought to you by The Educator, is the leading independent awards event in the K-12 education sector. The awards showcase the top-performing schools, principals, department heads and teachers for their outstanding achievements and transformative work that makes a profound difference to the lives of young people across Australia.

After two years of virtual gatherings, the Australian Education Awards are back with a bang and ready to raise a glass to the K-12 education sector’s best and brightest. Returning as an in-person black-tie gala, this year’s awards event will give school leaders and educators the chance to be showcased on a national stage, while celebrating with all the glitz and glamour that they deserve.

Be a part of this iconic industry event by nominating for our prestigious awards. We look forward to rolling out the red carpet for you on 12 August 2022, in Sydney.

The Australian Education Awards is presented by The Educator, the resource of choice for the country's most forward-thinking senior educational professionals & decision makers.

A GREAT EVENT YEAR UPON YEAR

The Australian Education Awards have long been the industry event of the year. For 2020 and 2021, determined to keep celebrating the sector despite the events of a turbulent period, the Australian Education Awards were revamped as a comprehensive virtual awards program, complete with the official prize announcements, inspiring live virtual panel discussions with finalists and sponsors, and online networking with the wider education community.

In 2022, the Australian Education Awards will proudly return as in-person event in Sydney – complete with the pre-awards cocktail reception, red carpet, dinner banquet and awards ceremony, and live entertainment throughout the evening.
