Educational leader gets AM

16/06/2021

By Danielle Kutchel

An inspiring educational leader has been awarded an AM in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

Jill Healey was given the prestigious honour for “significant service to education through leadership and advisory roles”.

She has an extensive background in schools, including as a founder of the Victorian Christian Schools Events Network and board member of Independent Schools Victoria, among many other things.

She is perhaps best recognised in the south east for her roles as a board member at Beaconhills College, and deputy head of Maranatha Christian School from 1990-93.

Ms Healey has previously been recognised for her service with an ACEL Fellowship Award in 2015 and an Award for Outstanding Service from Christian Schools Australia in 2013.
