Today is World Teachers’ Day

A big THANK YOU to all our amazing teachers here in Capalaba and across Queensland and Australia. Shaping our future leaders, academics, nurses, musicians, artists, business owners, forklift drivers…. everyone that helps make our community so great.

As we get ready to celebrate World Teachers’ Day on Friday 30 October 2020, it is time to thank all Queensland teachers!

In what has been an unprecedented year, our Queensland teachers, school leaders and wider school support staff have all continued to show their professionalism and resilience, striving every day to do their best for Queensland students. By commemorating World Teachers’ Day across all school communities we have the opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the wonderful work of all teachers across our state.

This year we are celebrating the many diverse faces of teaching. Each individual’s passion for teaching and dedication to Queensland students is what makes our world-class education system what it is today.

Let us join together to thank all teachers on World Teachers’ Day on Friday 30 October.

Each school staff member will receive a keepsake commemorative ribbon to wear with pride.

School staff and wider community members can also visit Queensland World Teachers' Day website for podcasts, downloadable resources and much more.

We encourage you to share your celebrations on social media using #ThankQldTeachers.

Thank you to our Queensland teachers.
