2020 Minister's and Secretary's Awards for Excellence Public Education Foundation 3 Award Recipients We Give Life-Changing Scholarships 2020 Minister’s and Secretary’s Awards for Excellence Welcome It is an absolute pleasure to present the winners of the 2020 Minister’s and Secretary’s Awards for Excellence. These Awards showcase the exceptional work that occurs every day across NSW public education – by schools, students, teachers, employees and parents. One of the Public Education Foundation’s primary roles is to celebrate the best of public schooling, and the Minister’s and Secretary’s Awards do that in spades. The Foundation is proud to manage the Awards on behalf of The Hon. Sarah Mitchell MLC, Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning and Mr Mark Scott AO, Secretary of the NSW Department of Education. In normal times, we would be meeting this week for a large Awards ceremony, but this year COVID-19 means that we are recognising our winners locally in their school environments. That does nothing to diminish the quality of the winners we are celebrating. You will read here about outstanding contributions and innovative initiatives from across NSW, from community drought relief at Trundle Central School to Wellbeing Wednesday at Canterbury Boys High. Finally, I want to share a quick reminder that our 2021 scholarship round for primary and secondary students are closing soon. We have hundreds of scholarships to award, including new scholarships for Indigenous and regional and remote students. Head to our website and take a look! We hope to see you back in person for next year’s Award ceremony.

It outlines the findings from self-assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. School contact details Sydney Girls High School Moore Park Surry Hills, 2010 www.sydneygirl-h.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 9331 2336 Message from the principal Despite the challenges of 2020 the school continued to deliver high level investment in the lives and learning of all students at Sydney Girls High. Appreciation is due to all staff, parents and student leaders who were significant in maintaining morale and close communication across the months of online learning when the school was operating without a physical presence and we were forced to respond to the ever changing conditions in NSW schools. Out of this extraordinary year emerged some remarkable achievements and a greater sense of appreciation of the value of friendship and collegiality which school life provides for us all. A landmark achievement was the construction of our long awaited building The Governors Centre with Sydney Boys High which throughout the months of the pandemic was able to be progressed with few interruptions to the building schedule.
