World Teachers’ Day

Every day, teachers are shaping the future and making a profound difference to young lives.

Celebrated in more than 100 countries worldwide, World Teachers’ Day was

established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1994 to recognise the role of teachers in society. This year, UNESCO will focus on the support teachers need to fully contribute to the recovery process under the theme ‘Teachers at the heart of education recovery’. 

In Australia, World Teachers’ Day will be celebrated tomorrow, 29 October 2021, providing an opportunity for communities to say 'thank you' and celebrate the achievements and leadership of all educators.

It is an opportunity to take a moment to recognise the passion of teachers and how teaching has extended beyond the classroom in maintaining connections through remote learning.

Let us make sure teachers know we appreciate their resilience, leadership and adaptability throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

St John Vianney’s  will be celebrating World Teachers’ Day on the return of all staff and students on site next week. On Tuesday 2 Nov all staff will enjoy a special lunch, with both savoury and sweet treats.

In the meantime if you would like to get involved, send a message of thanks to our staff on our Facebook Page or click here to find other ways to acknowledge the hard work of all the SJV staff.

On behalf of the children and families I thank each staff member for their efforts during the year so far. We celebrate World Teachers Day on Friday knowing that the staff at St John Vianney’s continue to strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well.
