Two outstanding members of the OneSchool Global (OSG) community – Mary Baxter and Julie Murray, have been recognised as winners in the prestigious 2025 Inspiring Leaders Awards, presented by Inspiring Workplaces.
Recognising people first leadership
The Inspiring Leaders Awards honour individuals who go above and beyond to create positive impact for their people and organisations. Winners are selected for their ability to:
• Clearly connect people to the organisation’s mission, values, and goals
• Build trust through openness and authentic engagement
• Champion a culture of belonging where every voice is heard and valued
• Empower employees to share ideas and shape decisions.
Both Mary Baxter, Regional Director of Teaching and Learning Secondary (Australia), and Julie Murray, Regional Director of Teaching and Learning Primary (Australia), exemplify these qualities every day at OSG. Their leadership inspires belief, fosters a sense of belonging, and empowers our educators and students to thrive.
A proud moment for OSG
This recognition is a testament to the dedication and vision of Mary Baxter and Julie Murray. Their commitment to ‘people first’ values not only strengthens our school culture but also sets a standard for educational leadership across Australia and beyond.
Matt Manners, CEO and Founder of Inspiring Workplaces Group, shared:
“These awards celebrate those exceptional leaders who make a tangible, positive impact, setting a standard of empathy, integrity and vision that resonates throughout their teams. They are the catalysts for change, sparking innovation, engagement, a sense of belonging and proving that leadership is about elevating others as much as oneself.”
Congratulations, Mary and Julie Murray on this well-deserved honour!
