The QCT TEACHX Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of teachers in Queensland.

Every year, teachers from across all sectors and early childhood centres are nominated to share their stories and inspire colleagues.  In recent years, Catholic schools have been under-represented in nominations.

I encourage Catholic school communities to consider nominating outstanding teachers who excel in their roles in the following categories:

• Beginning - recognition for inspirational teachers with up to four years' experience.
• Excellence - recognition for inspirational Queensland teachers.
• Innovation - recognition for the ground-breaking work of teachers and school leaders in schools and early learning centres across Queensland.
• Leadership – recognition for classroom teachers or school administrators who have taken a leading role in enhancing teaching and learning in their school.
• Community - recognition for inspirational teachers who are the heart of the school community.
• Outstanding - recognition for teachers and school administrators with an outstanding history of service.

Please note entries will close in the school holidays on Friday, 9 July. Winners will be announced in conjunction with World Teachers’ Day in October.

This is an important way in which we can highlight the quality of teaching and learning taking place in Catholic schools.
