To ensure that the VATE State Conference is accessible to as many English teachers as possible, two scholarships are available to help remove the financial barriers for eligible applicants. This year’s Teacher Inclusion Scholarships were generously sponsored by VATE and Fremantle Press. The recipients of this year’s scholarships were Mariam Hussein, Al-Taqwa College, and Gabrielle Eckhardt, Camperdown College. You can read more about their experiences at the State Conference here and here.
VATE offers two scholarships teachers to attend the National AATE/ALEA conference to be in July every year. These scholarships are intended for teachers who are prepared to make a strong commitment to supporting the activities of VATE into the future. Details about the scholarship and criteria for selection are circulated to individual members in February.
VATE presents a number of pre-service teacher awards for outstanding achievement to those undertaking an English Method.
