Congratulations to the five groups from the Department of Education- this year’s recipients of the prestigious Hardie Fellowship.
Thanks to a generous bequest left by Professor Charles Dunn Hardie; these five groups will undertake professional learning in the USA.
The Hardie Fellowship provides short and long term opportunities for professional learning and tertiary study and offers immediate and future benefits to the Tasmania's Government education system and students.
This year’s Hardie Fellowship recipients are accomplished educators who will study with global leaders in their fields, gaining access to world class innovation and thinking and developing important global networks and links in the education sector.
The Hodgman Government understands educational leadership and the commitment to actively engage in professional learning is vital to lifting educational achievement and creating a job-ready generation improving educational outcomes in Tasmania.
I also pay tribute to Professor Hardie who established the Fellowship and the contribution of MyState Bank for their ongoing support in managing the Trust, and I wish this year’s recipients all the best for their studies.
