Important Information This Week

WORLD TEACHER'S DAY 

World_Teachers_Day_2021.png

Australia will celebrate and thank the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day on Friday 29 October 2021.  

Teachers (with support from parents and carers) have ensured education continues across the country this year, despite major challenges. It’s reinforced the significant role teachers play in the lives of children and students, their families, and communities.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our teachers for their on-going commitment and dedication to their role in educating all the students in our care. The last 2 years have not been without challenges. Teachers have had to adapt, learn new approaches and change how they delivered an engaging curriculum to their students. A huge, well done and thank you to all our teachers.
