Fifty-nine schools were nominated for the 2022 awards across three new categories that honour collective leadership, and excellence in teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools.
The award winners will be announced at a presentation event on Friday 18 November, with each to receive $10,000 to put towards a project or program at the school.
