We are very proud to announce nominations for the inaugural 2018 ACHPER Victoria Teacher Awards are now open! These very important awards recognise teachers who are undertaking excellent practice in Health and Physical Education. These awards have been a long time coming, and we are thrilled to bring more of the exceptional work in Victorian schools to the attention of the broader education, health and physical activity sector.
By nominating yourself or a colleague you are helping to shine the light more brightly on this important learning area of Health and Physical Education which focuses on students enhancing their own and others’ health, safety, wellbeing and physical activity.
We have introduced four awards this year, two for each category as follows:

This award is open to any Victorian primary school or secondary school demonstrating overall excellence in the following criteria as it relates to Health and Physical Education. The school must have at least one member of staff who is a current ACHPER member.
The program does not necessarily have to comprise the entire Health and Physical Education curriculum but may focus on one or more parts of it. The program should be original and innovative in approach and have completed at least one full cycle of implementation, including evaluation, to be considered.
A program might be something developed across the entire school or focus on one, or two, year levels or possibly across a group of schools within a network.
