Every day, passionate secondary teachers across NSW public schools are using innovative teaching strategies to help students develop 21st Century skills in the classroom.

These teachers inspire us all – they’re passionate, creative and engaging! Are you one of them?

Do you use new technologies, unique teaching methods or embrace different ways of learning in your classroom? Maybe you think (or teach!) outside the box to engage students in subjects as diverse as Drama, PE or Physics?

No matter what your style, you use it to motivate students, spark their passion for learning, and help them develop a bold vision for their future.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t have a fancy camera, and I don’t know how to edit, can I still enter?

You don’t have to be the next Spielberg to impress the judges, and you won’t be judged on your editing skills either. Visit our Learning Edge Facebook group for tips on shooting great videos with your phone.

Can my entry be snippets from various lessons or from a single lesson?

It’s up to you! Remember to wow us with your talent and creativity, you can film part of a regular class lesson or show us how you tackle a tricky topic or concept in class.

What type of teacher is the Learning Edge for?

You have to be teaching in a NSW public high school to enter, other than that we want to hear from teachers across all subjects: History, PE or anything in between. If you’re passionate, inspiring and innovative then we want you to enter!
