WELCOME

In the 41st year Australian Council for Educational Leaders’ Queensland Branch Awards, we recognise and celebrate the work of colleagues across early childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary sectors, professional associations and supporting organisations.

Our awards this year are situated within a significant period in the history of education and society generally, as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. In our schools and workplaces we are exploring how we maintain our humanity in leadership whilst physical distancing and learning what should be taken forward.

The awards and fellowships granted tonight are the outcomes of peer nominations and consideration of criteria by the Awards committee, capturing the spirit of each award. Each recipient reminds us we belong to a profession that extends to us the opportunity and privilege to make a positive difference in the lives of young people.

Congratulations to our 2020 award recipients. May our work be enriched as we learn from you and collaborate with you to nurture a love of learning that will help every young person to succeed.

St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School

St Aidan’s is a Prep to Year 12 Anglican day school for girls, with a co-educational Kindergarten. Our population of approximately 900 students, reflects our belief that students experience many benefits in a smaller school.

St Aidan’s was established in 1929 by the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent – an order of Anglican sisters committed to serving God through nurturing and serving young women.

To this day, the school’s mission remains the same and is led by Principal, Toni Riordan: to encourage confidence and success in students through pursuit of their academic, sporting, cultural and community pursuits within a caring environment.

Thank you to the student hosts, performers, the technicians, the catering team and teaching staff who have contributed their time and commitment to welcome ACELQ. Your efforts highlight the caring culture, aspirations and achievements of the staff and students.

Your hospitality has enabled us to bring together school and system leaders from across the education sector in celebration of educational leadership.

The Miller-Grassie Award for OutstandingLeadership in Education

Associate Professor Jill Willis

Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, Queensland University of Technology

The Miller-Grassie Award and President’s Citation acknowledges and perpetuates the memory of the life and work of educational researchers and administrators, Dr Laurie Miller and Associate Professor McCrae Grassie. Miller and Grassie were pioneers in educational administration in Queensland from the 1970s through to the 1990s.

During their careers at the University of Queensland, Miller and Grassie’s ideas were seen by some as controversial, but they were not deterred and continued to promote educational administration theory. They believed that the complex dynamics of educational leadership are distinctive and should be studied. Miller and Grassie were instrumental in establishing the Queensland Institute of Education Administrators (QIEA) in 1972. QIEA eventually became ACEL in later years.

Introduced and Presented by Dr Deborah Kember

Jill Willis is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at Queensland University of Technology . She has taught in the Master of Education Leadership and Management degree since 2010. Prior to this she was a Director of Studies of a P-12 Independent School and a Head of Social Science in a regional state high school. Jill completed her Doctor of Philosophy while working in a leadership position in a Queensland school as a way to understand how the teacher-student relationship mediated assessment for learning practices in middle years classrooms. She continues to work alongside teachers and school leaders and conducts research about day-to-day classroom practice.

Jill is currently co-leading an Australian Research Council project with the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, Queensland Secondary Principals’ Association, Speech Pathology Australia and three large state high schools. Her research is part of an international project investigating how preservice teachers learn to be assessment capable. Jill is also a program co-leader of Engagement and Learning in the Centre for Inclusive Education.

Dr Julie Lindsay

Associate Director, Digital Learning Innovation, University of Southern Queensland



Nominated by the University of Southern Queensland

Dr Julie Lindsay is an educator, innovator, teacherpreneur and author who develops and leads global collaboration. This award acknowledges her 2019 Doctor of Philosophy thesis entitled ‘Online Global Collaborative Educators and Pedagogical change’. Julie’s findings revealed that educators who successfully implement online global collaborative learning are champions in the digital learning environment, adopt constructivist beliefs and employ innovative pedagogical practices. The findings also reveal how educators developed a Global Collaborator Mindset (GCM), identified as having attributes of openness, connection, autonomy and innovation. This research led to the development of the Online Global Collaborative Learning Framework - a tool for understanding classroom learning modes which encapsulates the wider pedagogical implications and shifts in practice for educators. Julie’s work built upon years of leading the profession in online collaborative learning and typifies her understanding and leadership for the reality of contemporary educational contexts .

This award recognises a significant contribution by an individual or media organisation towards creating or facilitating depth and balance in public debate on educational matters in the media. It may be awarded for a single media event or for a long-term commitment on the part of the recipient.



ACELQ celebrates the unique partnership between the Queensland Department of Education and Channels 7, 9 and 10 as it made a positive difference across the community during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together they delivered lessons for students, developed in collaboration with teaching and learning specialists, across a six-week period in 2020. Learning@home TV, reading@home TV and coding@home TV provided important variety in the range of learning experiences available for students while they could not enter school buildings. They were also an important support for students who did not have reliable access to the internet and a vital tool for parents and carers to partner with their children in the learning experience. The partnership provides a lasting legacy to Queensland education as lessons continue to be available as a learning resource .

A statement of commitment to the profession of teachingI acknowledge that I am a member of a profession that extends to me the opportunity and the privilege to make a positive difference in the lives of young people.I bring to the profession my unique talents to teach and to lead, which I commit to nurturing and developing throughout my career.I understand that teaching is a deeply human endeavour. While I teach subjects, ideas and skills, above all I teach young people, who are our future.I recognise and respect the body of distinct theory and knowledge which is gifted to me by those who have come before. I draw from it and strive to contribute further to it.I recognise that young people learn in different ways and at differ-ent rates.I believe that given appropriate support and resourcing, all young people can learn, and I strive to nurture a love of learning that will help every young person to succeed.I make judgements to evaluate student achievement through assessment that is valid, reliable and fair, and I give value to those learnings that cannot be measured.I recognise that teaching is a collaborative profession and I am not the only teacher in a young person’s life.My work is enriched through working with my colleagues, learning from them and contributing to their practice.I acknowledge the contribution of the many parents, caregivers, and teachers past, present and future who contribute to a young person’s education.I work with them wherever possible to enrich the learning of young people.I offer a spirit of optimism, resilience and hope as I support young people to develop and act on the values, beliefs and capabilities that guide them throughout their lives.I recognise the changing nature of knowledge, and I commit to continuous learning throughout my professional career.In committing to this statement I accept the responsibilities of being a teacher, and acknowledge the deep trust placed in me by young people, parents, caregivers and society

The consultation, development and production of the statement were facilitated by the
