This month, the ACT Teacher Quality Institute held their Certification Awards Ceremony for ACT teachers who received Highly Accomplished and Lead Teacher (HALT) accreditation in 2019.

Congratulations to ACT Catholic school teachers, Priscilla Carragh, Kristy Everding (St Clare of Assisi Primary School, Conder); Kerri Kerr (St Joseph’s Primary School, O’Connor); Katherine Calley, Abbey Kennedy and Teressa Patterson (St Francis Xavier College, Florey) who received their awards at the ceremony.

Loretta Wholley, Principal of Merici College, Braddon and Luke Mooney, Curriculum Coordinator at St Thomas the Apostle Primary School, Kambah, were recognised for having completed their training to become HALT Assessors.

National Highly Accomplished and Leader Teacher (HALT) certification is a voluntary initiative that supports teachers to explore and reflect on their practice, developing a wealth of insights. The evidence based process can take up to two years to complete.

Director of Catholic Education, Ross Fox, acknowledged the award recipients. “I am proud to recognise the achievements of this group of dedicated and passionate Catholic school teachers. Congratulations!”
