National Student of the Year & Student Environmental Award 2012

The development of a highly skilled workforce is essential to the economic development of the textiles industry in Australia. The Textile Institute Southern Australia Section encourages excellence in vocational education by presenting annual student awards and is dedicated to encouraging personal development and growth, and to enable our members and students to progress their skills and knowledge for the benefit of our industry. The awards offer students an opportunity to gain recognition for their academic and vocational achievements.

Nominations are now being accepted. Each school is requested to nominate two students (except in the case where the student does not meet the selection criteria). If your education facility has various sectors, eg fashion, textiles, technical you are welcome to nominate two (2) students from EACH of these sectors.

All candidates and nominators will be invited to attend a special presentation at the Textile Institute (TISA) Annual General Meeting – further details to follow. All candidates will be presented as Outstanding Students for their School / College.
