Congratulations to education support staff from MacKillop Catholic Regional College, Werribee, and Nazareth College, Noble Park North, who have been recognised in the 2023 Australian Teacher Aide of the Year Awards.

These prestigious national awards provide an opportunity for schools to showcase the outstanding work of their teacher aides, and recognise their positive impact on student learning and wellbeing.

The learning support officer (LSO) team at MacKillop Catholic Regional College is a finalist in the 2023 Australian Teacher Aide Team of the Year Awards.

The team, nominated by Director of Learning Diversity, Damian Stead, forms an essential part of the Learning Diversity team at the college and, as such, the LSOs are crucial in ensuring that all students can experience success: socially, emotionally and academically.

Mr Stead said: ‘The role of the MacKillop LSOs cannot be underestimated in assisting students’ wellbeing and learning. They provide valuable support to both students and teachers, from individualised instruction to creating positive classroom culture.’

The Nazareth College Learning Diversity team LSOs were highly commended in the 2023 Australian Teacher Aide Team of the Year Awards.

The LSOs were nominated by Instructional Leader – Learning Diversity and Engagement, Emma Wray, for their positive impact on student learning through direct intervention groups, ultimately reducing the number of students requiring additional support.

The winners will be announced on Thursday 31 August as part of Australian Teacher Aide Appreciation Week. Further details about the awards can be found on the Australian Teacher Aide .
