About the ISNZ Honours Awards
The ISNZ Honours Awards give recognition to staff – academic, support and others – who stand out above and beyond what might reasonably be expected as part of their paid employment. See the Honours Awards criteria here
Due to the cancellation of the 2020 ISNZ Annual Conference we have made the decision to defer the next ISNZ Honours Awards until 2021. The 2021 ISNZ Annual Conference will be held at the Grand Millennium in Auckland on 20-21 August. We would like to recognise those who are successful recipients in front of the wider independent schools community where they can be presented with their award in person as part of the Conference programme.
