Chisholm has recognised the outstanding achievements and contributions made by members of the Chisholm student and staff community across diverse fields of academic endeavour with an online awards event.
In a year like no other, the annual Education Awards Gala Evening could not be held in its usual format. Instead the Chisholm Education Awards for 2020 will be viewed by the finalists in the comfort of their homes.
A pre-recorded ceremony led by Chisholm CEO, Stephen Varty announced the winners in the following award categories:
- Apprentice of the Year – Dale Pryor, Certificate III in Carpentry
- Bill Norling Award for Outstanding Automotive Apprentice – Michael Mowat, Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology
- Educator of the Year – Dr Cosimo Chiera
- Higher Education Student of the Year – Rebecca Wilkin, Bachelor of Nursing (LaTrobe University partnership)
- International Student of the Year - Anuj Mittal, Bachelor of Engineering Technology
- Koorie Student of the Year – Elijah Hopkins, Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology
- Secondary School Student of the Year - Louis Celer, VCAL Senior, and Sammy Treklis, VCAL Senior
- Trainee of the Year – Rainsley Gregory, Certificate III in Individual Support
- Vocational Student of the Year – Emma Edwards, Certificate III in Conservation and Land Management and IV in Conservation and Land Management.
During the ceremony Mr Varty encouraged finalists to reflect on their achievements, consider the challenges, hardships, outcomes and lessons they have learnt along the way and to acknowledge those who have helped, encouraged and supported them on their journey.
All Chisholm Education Award finalists will be provided with their own copy of the event to view and share online with their family and friends.
Often, award winners in these categories go on to represent Chisholm at a state level at the Victorian Training Awards.
In 2019, Nicholas Steer was awarded the Trainee of the Year and this year, he has reached the finals in the Victorian Training Awards.
