Congratulations to the 36 finalists (individuals and teams) announced for the Together We Inspire Awards 2018.
Now in its seventh year, the Awards are an opportunity to publically acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the staff and volunteers who work in Child and Family Centres, schools, colleges, libraries and the business units that support them.
The Awards showcase the significant work being undertaken in public education, as well as share information and skills that will ultimately lead to improved learning outcomes for all Tasmanians.
I look forward joining all finalists, sponsors, and department representatives at the Awards ceremony later this year.
