 2017 SASTA Awards
There are many great teachers out there that SASTA would like to acknowledge, but often they don't get nominated due to teaching being a very busy profession and people not having the time to fill in nomination forms.
Start thinking now! Alert your Principal. There are a number of Awards for SASTA members.
AVAILABLE AWARDS
~ The SASTA Medal - awarded to an individual who has made a significant contribution to SASTA and who has been active in science education.
~ The Credit Union SA / SASTA Outstanding Teacher Award for Junior Primary, Primary, Middle Years and Senior Years teachers - in recognition of teachers' contributions to the education of students in science.
~ The Helen Castle Memorial Scholarship - designed to assist country science teachers to attend the SASTA Annual Conference and gain professional development to assist themselves and other country teachers to maintain a high standard of science teaching in country areas (2 scholarships of $500 each are available).
