Member for Davidson, Jonathan O’Dea has congratulated Sebastian Brundson from Davidson High School as one of only twenty-four recipients of a prestigious 2013 Minister’s Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Sebastian is acknowledged as an experienced teacher who inspires his students with his drive and passion for economics and geography.
His classroom practice reflects all the best attributes of quality teaching and as a result, his students have produced outstanding academic results in these fields.
“Teaching is widely acknowledged as being the single most significant factor in educational success,” Mr O’Dea said.
“Sebastian’s receipt of this award shows the depth of quality in public school teaching in the Davidson area.”
“It was my pleasure to acknowledge Sebastian’s Award for Excellence in Teaching through a Community Recognition Statement in NSW Parliament yesterday,” Mr O’Dea concluded.
The Minister for Education Adrian Piccoli, when presenting the awards in Sydney this week, confirmed the Government’s commitment to teaching excellence in the state.
“What teachers know, do and care about has a powerful and enduring influence on student learning,” Mr Piccoli said.
“Teachers in NSW do an amazing job, and the winners today have demonstrated a high degree of accomplishment and a commitment to excellence.”
