The Microsoft Excellence in School Leadership National Awards have been announced in a ceremony at the University of Auckland.
Christine Miller, co-head of school at Kelston Deaf Education Centre, received the Excellence in Senior Leadership award. Ms Miller has helped establish Kelston as a world-class centre for deaf education.
She says the trick has been to approach each student as an individual within the context of the national curriculum
The judges say her work has made a significant impact on the lives of the students and will continue to do so for years to come.
Ms Miller says she is convinced deaf students can achieve at levels comparable with other children.
Annemarie Biggs says she is pleased that the importance of the work done by teachers is being recognised by big businesses like Microsoft, who linked up with the University of Auckland to make the awards.
Microsoft NZ managing director Ross Peat paid tribute to the winners and the runners up in the competition. He says their drive for continuous improvement among their students and staff contribute significantly to realising the potential of New Zealand's future leaders.
