Last Friday we celebrated World Teachers’ Day, which is an opportunity to shine a light on the work of our teachers and those who support them in realising our mission of Catholic education.
All of us would have at least one teacher that made a significant impression on us as a student. The teacher that went above and beyond to make the experience of learning more engaging; the teacher that noticed and helped you when you struggled with a concept; the teacher that opened your eyes to your own capability and potential.
Teaching is a profession, but it’s not a job. It’s a vocation and a commitment to do your best for the students in your care. To be a guide and a mentor, a facilitator and sounding board; to be a motivator and encourager, an enabler and enthusiast for learning; and in the case of Catholic school teachers, to be a witness to the life-giving good news of Christ present in each of us and in the world.
As we celebrate and recognise the work of our teachers, I wanted to thank them for their service, their professionalism, their willingness and commitment to their work and to the students and young people they serve.

A special thank you to the P&F, parents and students for the beautiful
morning tea and presentation to the staff at our assembly.
