Top marks for educator

Tyler BrownWanneroo Times

Mark Fielding was one of two West Australians to be awarded a New Voice scholarship from the Australian Council for Educational Leaders, winning the educational leadership research scholarship.

As the school's global programs director, Dr Fielding was recognised for his research on the challenges of globalisation on school education.

"Given that globalisation is destined to influence schools in one form or another in the future, I believe that educational leaders and school communities need to be fully aware so they can position their schools accordingly," he said.
