Today is National Teachers’ Day in Australia which provides an opportunity for us all to recognise the work of our amazing teachers.
Chair of the Australian Council of State School Organisations board Sharron Healy praised the work of teachers around the country and the many challenges faced in another disruptive year.
“This year has once again presented challenges in the delivery of education, with extensive lockdowns, particularly on the east coast – and as always our nation’s teachers have met the challenge” said Healy.
“Online delivery, anxiety and uncertainty has presented us with many stresses and trials – but working together, many of those hurdles were overcome.”
As parents, we entrust our children to the care of their teachers as they journey through their school education.
Together we will need to work to reconnect home and school, rebuild relationships, re- engage with school routines and practices.
It’s a partnership that builds strong foundations for a #BrightFuture.
“Teachers, as dedicated professionals, care and influence and can have a life-long effect on those that they teach.
We all remember those teachers that made a difference for us, and those who are making a difference to today’s students,” Sharron continued.
Let’s join with the Australian Institute for Teachers and School Leadership (AITSL), have a bit of fun and celebrate the remarkable teaching profession and its bright future.
Perhaps share a group or solo photo in your sunglasses on social media. Use #teachersday #thankteachers #brightfuture @ACSSOTWEETS @aitsl and share in the recognition.
“It is most fitting that a day, particularly with the challenges presented once again this year, and as we rebuild life living with COVID, is set aside to recognise teachers’ significant contribution to our children, to our families and our society.” Mrs Healy concluded.
