Public School Parent
of the Year Awards Closing 12 June 2009
In 2009, as in previous
years, a range of Awards are on offer to recognise
the achievements of members of the NSW public education
community. Two of these awards may be of particular interest to your members,
and I would be grateful if you could bring them to their attention. The Public School Parent
of the Year Award acknowledges and promotes the
outstanding contribution of parents to the public school community. This
year, as in previous years, the Award will be nominated, selected and
presented within each DET Region. Each panel will include a
representative of the P&C. The Director-General's
School Achievement Award is presented each year to
schools that have made significant contributions to public education and the
achievement of goals stated in the Department's corporate planning documents.
Both of
these awards have a closing date for nominations of 12 June 2009. Further information about these, and other awards
is available on the Department's website at https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/awards/pspoty.htm
