In 2026, CLTASA proudly launches the Teacher & Pre-service Teacher Awards to honour educators who demonstrate sustained dedication, active engagement, and meaningful contribution to our professional community.
These awards are established not only to recognise excellence, but more importantly to acknowledge the commitment, leadership, and service that strengthen Chinese language education across South Australia.
Behind every successful event, every thriving student initiative, and every growing professional network are educators who generously contribute their time, expertise, and energy. These awards celebrate those who help shape and sustain our Association community.
