Dear Colleagues
On this World Teachers’ Day, we want to express our appreciation and gratitude for your commitment to leading schools across the NT. Your leadership plays a vital role in improving the outcomes for students by inspiring, motivating and supporting your teachers and staff to be the best they can. Today we celebrate your commitment and passion to education and the teaching profession, your tireless energy and diligence to make a difference.
Remember to send us a picture of you and your staff celebrating.
Congratulations to our school leaders and staff who have been shortlisted for Teach in the Territory Awards. It is great to see many of our members in this category and recognised for their outstanding leadership and positive contributions. Enjoy your evening and celebrations.
NTPA is committed to representing all members as key stakeholders in NT Education. We currently have 171 members who lead in urban, regional, remote and very remote schools. NTPA is recognised as the collective voice for school leaders throughout the NT at both a Territory and National level. It is an advisory body to the Department, the Chief Executive and Minister of Education, and influences through strong partnerships, consultation and advocacy.
