The Educator by Brett Henebery
St Raphael’s School Principal Emma Fowler has taken out two of South Australia’s top education honours, earning recognition as both Leader of the Year and Innovative Educator of the Year at the 2025 EdTechSA and Educators SA World Teachers’ Day awards.
The double win caps off a standout year for Fowler, whose focus on technology, wellbeing and creativity has reshaped teaching and learning at the Parkside school.
Since stepping into the principal role, she’s built a culture that champions curiosity and connection — and it’s clearly paying off. Fowler was one of more than 70 educators celebrated for their impact on South Australia’s schools, but her back-to-back wins mark a particularly proud moment for the St Raphael’s community.
