The 14th annual Victorian Global Learning Awards are a celebration and recognition of what brings us together, the strength of Victoria's international relationships and the esteem with which we are held internationally for global learning and engagement. But most importantly it is a celebration of our students, teachers, parents, principals and homestay families, and the contribution they make to our schools and community.

The Victorian Government congratulates the 2026 award recipients from government and non-government schools who are all ambassadors for international education in Melbourne and Victoria.
