The annual Australian Education Awards showcase our country’s top-performing schools, for their outstanding
achievements and transformative work. This year, Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School has been
announced as a finalist in three categories.

The strength of Lindisfarne’s leadership and our visionary steps forward in technology have been recognised at the national level with our school in the running to win three major education awards.

The Lindisfarne community is proud to announce we are finalists in the categories of ‘School Principal of the Year – Nongovernment (Mr Stuart Marquardt)’, ‘Teachers Mutual Bank Primary School Teacher of the Year – Non-government (Junior School PDHPE educator Nathan Croft)’, and ‘Best Use of Technology’.

Deputy Principal, Mrs Charlotte Lush says getting to this point was a culmination of the hard work of everyone within the school community supporting Mr Marquardt’s overarching vision and strategy to create a world class educational institution.

“Since taking up the mantle of Principal in 2016, Stuart has set forth a clear and consistent pathway forward to grow our community of families by promoting a culture of high academic standards and behavioural expectations, led by an expert teaching team. He has led us all with a desire for ongoing improvement through evidence-based pedagogical practices and professional development of our staff. He has built stronger partnerships with other schools in our region and across the world, and grown our co-curricular, care and faith-based offerings at the School,” she says.

“All of this is really starting to show with more families actively choosing to join our community, and the flow-on effect of us needing to expand both of our campuses to accommodate the growth.

“It’s through all of us – students, parents, staff and friends – supporting this vision that Stuart is now receiving credit for this work from Australia’s broader educational sector. We should all be proud of this moment.”
