We would like to extend our sincere congratulations to Carolyn Grantskalns who was recently awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the King’s Birthday Honours.

Many in the South Australian education sector will know Carolyn through one of her many roles and of course, as the Presiding Member of the Teachers Registration Board.

Carolyn is a former teacher and Wilderness School Principal of 16 years and was appointed AISSA’s CEO in 2013, only recently retiring from that role in 2023.

Carolyn also served on the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority Board and is a former member of the South Australian Education Standards Board.

Congratulations Carolyn on this outstanding and well-deserved recognition of your hard work and dedication to education in South Australia.
