2022 sees our second year of presenting our Deadly Kids Awards online. Today, we acknowledge and celebrate 109 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in the Metropolitan South and West Operational Directorate who have demonstrated achievement in various areas such as attendance, engagement, academic achievement and leadership. We also celebrate the award winner of the Aunty Fay Carroll Memorial Award for an outstanding Aboriginal staff member and the Gamarada Award for an outstanding non-Aboriginal staff member.
