(This page is large and

Queensland:
The Foundation received a large volume of nominations for outstanding teachers
from Queensland schools from Goondiwindi to the Gulf. This year there were a
number of multiple nominations from schools of distance education and from high
schools as well as nominations of teacher principals from small country schools.
Among the outstanding teachers nominated, there were several special education
teachers and specialist music, drama, science and technology teachers. Teachers
selected for the Regional Awards reflect the spread of excellent teachers throughout teaching systems within the state.
Awardees were welcomed at the Novotel, Creek Street, Brisbane by the Chairman
of the NEiTA Foundation, Mr Terry O'Connell with the awards presented by the
Parliamentary Secretary to the Queensland Minister for Education, Mrs Jo-Ann
Miller MP. Teachers short-listed for further consideration for the 2003 National
Awards will be notified in first term.
