On the evening of 1st July, we hosted our Celebration Dinner at the Royal York Hotel. What an honour to be able to recognise the achievements of our members in pursuing a whole education this year. The profile of the award winners really reflects the collaborative spirit present in our schools – there was a noticeable tendency towards teams of teachers being nominated for awards. As well as teachers, several students won awards for their work this year to improve education at their school. Congratulations to all Whole Education Award winners, keep up the good work!
