Atwea Values in Education Awards 2022

Atwea College celebrated its annual Atwea Values in Education Awards (AVEAs) on Wednesday, 7 September, held during the nationally celebrated Adult Learners Week. This is the night of nights for the college as they recognise the hard work and dedication of the trainers, teachers and students at Atwea College and Alesco Senior College.

Over 160 people gathered at Fort Scratchley, Newcastle, to connect and share stories about educators and students that bring to life the values of the college: integrity, inclusion and innovation.

Atwea is unique in facilitating both Adult and Secondary Education, and the AVEAs allow them the opportunity to collectively recognise and celebrate that uniqueness. Adult Learners Week is a global celebration; in 2022, the theme is ‘Connect with Learning’.

"Every day at Atwea, our students and educators create connections that lead to positive outcomes. Not just a connection to their work and study, but a connection with their peers and a connection to a purpose that will build a better future," says Chris Seysener, Chairperson, Atwea College Board.

Adult Learners Week gives us a chance to celebrate these connections. At the AVEAs, we acknowledge the work of our educators and students who are at the frontline of our organisation. We appreciate their efforts every day and the work they do in transforming lives and unlocking potential.

“These awards recognise staff and students who embody our values, consistently strive to deliver high standards of work, have respect for others and can share their solutions for our changing world.”
