World Teachers Day 2022
World Teachers' Day is held internationally on 5 October. As the day usually falls during the Australian school holidays, we celebrate it on the last Friday in October, which will be the 28th. On this day we recognise the amazing contribution and work of over 66,000 teachers and leaders in Catholic schools throughout Australia.
This year’s theme is 'Hats off to Teachers' and there are many ways you can celebrate World Teachers' Day within your school community. The worldteachersday.edu.au website has a selfie toolkit available to download so you can share your "hats off" celebrations on social media. Other suggestions include:
- Connecting with your parent committee to host a morning tea for teachers.
- Create thank you gifts or cards.
- Get the kids involved in making some art.
We have also included the below link to an article written by Sally Egan, Acting Executive Director of National Catholic Education, who offers her sincere thanks to our teachers and leaders for all their work, commitment, passion and dedication to teaching and learning. Catholic School Parents WA also offer our thanks to all of our wonderful teachers here in WA and commend you for all you do for our precious children and young people.
