Leadership Excellence

As a general guideline, the Leadership Excellence Award will be available to those who have provided a long and sustained contribution to Catholic education covering all core criteria and extending beyond the criteria. 

The criteria for this award would generally rely on an extended period of service, ongoing active interest and involvement (although those who are retired will nonetheless be eligible), strong faith focus and leadership.

Nominations for this award can be made by the South Australian Catholic Primary Principals Association, the Association of Principals of Catholic Secondary Schools, by Parish Priests, Principals, parent bodies or individuals.

If you wish to nominate a person but are unsure of the category or some aspect of the nomination process, please email your query to awards@cesa.catholic.edu.au
