As staff and students around Australia settle into the 2024 school year, we’ve been busy at Teacher sharing content to help you with your planning.

National awards are just one way of recognising the outstanding work of teachers, school leaders and other education staff, and their impact on student outcomes. The longstanding Prime Minister’s Prizes for Excellence in Science Teaching, recognising one primary and one secondary STEM teacher for their outstanding contribution to the field, is just one example. The 2023 winners were announced late last year as Donna Buckley from John Curtin College of the Arts in Western Australia, and Judith Stutchbury from Kalkie State School in Queensland. We had the pleasure of speaking with Donna and Judith late last year about the work they’ve been recognised for. Host: Dominique Russell Guests: Judith Stutchbury and Donna Buckley
