NCIS is delighted to announce its School of the Month Award to recognise schools that focus intently on the learning and development of students from the start of their schooling experiences through to early adolescence. Innovative approaches, community partnerships, strong leadership and commitment to professional learning shape the positive and inspirational culture of the schools. This award is also recognition of the outstanding work of all School management and staff focusing on meaningful outcomes for students in their academic, social and creative development. Outstanding teaching and leadership create positive environments for students to achieve their best, for staff to contribute their best and for communities to be actively involved in their schools. Every school's vision is to be recognized closely for the mission to develop high-achieving students who are connected globally, to each other and to the communities in which they live and serve.
