The Centenary of Federation Teaching - Team Awards

The previously named Centenary of Federation Teaching Award has been changed to recognise teams rather than individuals for their original and impactful new initiatives in the teaching of chemistry in Australia at both Primary, Secondary & Tertiary education levels.

About this award

These awards acknowledge that original and impactful new initiatives in the education sector are increasingly developed by teams of people, rather than individuals acting alone.
Applications should include the following:
  • details of the primary contact and a description of the initiative in a supporting statement of no more than 5 pages, 
  • quality and originality of the initiative, including how these will be evaluated
  • impact and significance within the education sector, including how the initiative will be disseminated and its potential for broader applicability
  • name and email address of a person within the primary, secondary school, tertiary institution, or RACI Branch/Division member who knows of the initiative and is prepared to act as a referee
  • Names, email and telephone contacts of no more than four referees

Please prepare your application/submission as a PDF document.

After the closing date, no further nominations for the award shall be accepted.

If in the opinion of the Board there is no candidate who has sufficient merit, the Board may refrain from making an award. The decision of the Board is final and no discussions or correspondence will be entered into.

The RACI National Awards are open from 1 April to 30 June.
During this time, you are invited to submit applications below.
