Alumni Award for Engaging Students as Partners in Learning

The Principal's Alumni Award for Engaging Students as Partners in Learning, formerly the Alumni Excellence in Teaching Award, recognizes innovative curricular design and instructional approaches where educators, instructors, and learners work together to achieve deep and meaningful learning. This award is given to recognize an individual who engages students as partners, lending power to student voices and supporting them to become the champions of their educational journeys. 

This award became a partnership between the Principal's Office and the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Alumni Association (QUAA) in 2023. Both partners respectfully acknowledge past recipients of the Alumni Excellence in Teaching Award for their contributions to the Queen's community.
