Three staff members honoured with a Member of the Order of Australia
- Posted: 7th February 2012
The School of Education is delighted to announce that three of our staff were awarded a Member of the Order of Australia in the Australian Day awards, with honours going to our recently appointed Adjunct Prof Michelle Bruniges and to Jim McAlpine, our Schools and Community Liaison officer and OEL Advisory Board member, both for services to education.
Long-serving staff member, now retired, A/Prof Alan Watson, was awarded the AM for service to the international community as founder of the Katoke Trust for Overseas Aid, to the people of Tanzania and to education (see attached (PDF) (116 Kb)). The School of Education is a major sponsor of the Katoke Trust and sends students and staff to Tanzania each year to work on its education-related projects so we are delighted that Alan's work has received such formal recognition.
