Celebrating 25 years of excellence, the Victorian Education Excellence Awards (VEEA) recognise outstanding government school staff and highlight the impressive work, initiatives and achievements that improve schools and support children and young people to develop the skills and learning outcomes they need to succeed in life.
The VEEA is an opportunity to celebrate the real and unique differences inspirational teachers, principals, assistant principals, business managers and education support staff make to the lives of students and their communities.
The awards support the continued professional development of outstanding staff working in Victorian government schools through awarding winners with professional learning grants. Winners of each category will be awarded professional development grants up to $25,000 to continue in their endeavour for education excellence.
