Teaching Excellence in HASS
Our HASS teachers have won numerous awards for the innovative ways they engage students with esoteric subject matter, traditional learning tools and contemporary technology.
What they explore in the classroom (and beyond) is referenced for texts and resources as best practice in diverse learning contexts, including schools, private enterprise, governments and community organisations.
These awards and commendations are testament to the hard work and dedication of our teachers to student learning. We are proud of their achievements as a Faculty, and we wholeheartedly encourage our staff to apply for future awards, grants, and fellowships.
