Proudly Public! PROUDLY PUBLIC! CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Welcome It’s an immense privilege to host the 2019 Proudly Public Awards. Each May we gather to celebrate the enduring values of our public education system. One of these values is excellence, which you will see in spades tonight – in the performances, in the speeches, in the personal stories. Even more importantly, you will see the fundamental public school values of character and resilience. Many of our winners have displayed remarkable strength of character in reaching the achievements they have to do. No doubt they’ll draw on these for the many achievements still to come. You’ll be entertained by the Southern Stars of the PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY: NSW Department of Education, inspired by former Socceroos captain and human rights advocate Craig Foster and delighted by journalist and TV host Jan Fran. Of course, the evening is also a forum to say thank you to the many generous supporters of public education – the individuals, foundations and companies who make these scholarships possible. I’m sure our gratitude at PEF is shared by all the winners and their families here tonight. Let me close by asking you one small favour. Next time you’re in a conversation about schools, remember the moving stories you’ve heard here tonight and give a little plug to the wonderful public education system in which they take shape.

  • SBS to Farewell Football Analyst, Craig Foster, After 18 Years with the Network
    24 June 2020 SBS to farewell football analyst, Craig Foster, after 18 years with the network SBS today announced that multi award-winning sports broadcaster, Craig Foster, will leave his permanent role at SBS as Chief Football Analyst at the end of July to pursue other challenges. SBS plans to continue working with Craig in the future on the network’s marquee football events. Craig will broadcast FIFA’s decision for hosting rights to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ on Friday morning at 8am on SBS, alongside Lucy Zelić, as a fitting farewell to an 18-year career. Craig Foster said: “My deepest gratitude to SBS Chairpersons, Directors, management, colleagues and our loyal viewers across football and news for an incredible journey. SBS provided not just an opportunity, but a mission back in 2002 and I instantly knew that we were aligned in our values, love of football and vision for the game. But the organisational spirit of inclusion, acceptance of diversity and promotion of Australia’s multicultural heart struck me most deeply. We brought this to life through football, but the mission was always to create a better Australia and world. My own challenges lie in this field and I will miss the people, above all, though I will never be too far away. I will always be deeply proud of having called SBS home for so long and look forward to walking down memory lane and thanking everyone personally over the next month.” SBS Managing Director, James Taylor, said: “Craig is one of the finest football analysts and commentators, and has made a significant contribution to SBS over almost two decades.
