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 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. It never hurts to be Proudly Public! Yours in public education DAVID HETHERINGTON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
