Term 4

 

Australia will celebrate the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day on Friday 28 October 2022.  

 

Our teachers have shown great resilience during challenging times, all so they can give Australian students the best future possible. 

Hats off to teachers this World Teachers’ Day!  

 

Share your “hats off” selfie to celebrate teachers and tell us what they mean to you. 

We are encouraging students, their families and the community to celebrate teachers. What do teachers mean to you?  

 

Our wonderful teachers will be treated to a special morning tea in acknowledgement for their ongoing commitment to our students at Concord School, to enable them to be the best they can be…

 

On Friday the 28th of October, you can show your appreciation to teachers by posting a “hats off” selfie on social media, either on your own or with family or friends.
