Blackboard Awards 2025 - Europa Hotel, 21 Feb. 2025

  Previous Awards Nominate Now 2024 Supplement

Join us at a gala dinner celebrating the teachers of Belfast at Europa Hotel.

Schools are the spine of a successful Belfast — and in no small part, that is down to the unstinting commitment of our teachers to ensure that every pupil reaches his or her full potential.  In the classrooms of Belfast, every child is a champion — and every teacher is a leader, encouraging each of their charges to set their sights ever-higher. 

The 13th annual Blackboard Awards give you a chance to recognise the teaching stalwarts who embody the very best of Belfast. 

We welcome nominations for teaching assistants, teachers, principals, and support staff.

Nominations close on 10 January, 2025.

AWARDEES: With sponsor Aidan Flynn of Flynn & Sons are Fiona McKinley of Hazelwood Integrated College, Maria Collins of St Oliver Plunkett Primary School.,

Sean Kavanagh of St Bernard's Primary School and Siobhan Loughran of Wellington College
