The judges will visit the school finalists next month, followed by an announcement of the winners at an awards ceremony at Government House on November 26.

“It is important to recognise the commitment and engagement of principals and teachers in developing the skills our kids will require for the jobs of the future,” Science Minister Dave Kelly said.

“The McGowan Government is committed to ensuring that STEM education is open to all students no matter their gender or postcode, and the leadership and advocacy of teachers and principals is integral to this.”
