Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🌏✨

Today we celebrate the incredible dedication, care and passion of our teachers. Each day, you go above and beyond to inspire curiosity, nurture growth, and help our students shine.

From all of us at St Anne's College, thank you for the countless ways you make a difference in classrooms, corridors and hearts. Your impact reaches far beyond the school, shaping not only bright minds but kind and capable young people ready to take on the world.

We are so grateful for everything you do.

Dear Teachers, Did you know?

Did you know my kids talk about you at the dinner table almost every night?

They tell us funny stories about you. They know little facts about your life. Where you grew up. Your dog’s name. How many siblings you have. Your likes and dislikes. They pay attention to the things that matter to you, because YOU matter to them.

Did you know how much your opinion means to them?

I see how their eyes light up at your compliments. It’s obvious how much they value your input and validation. When they accomplish something, like reading their first chapter book or winning a soccer game, it’s you they want to tell.

Did you know you’re one of their safe places?

I watch you on excursions and during class events. I see how you talk to them. The patience you have, the kindness you show. I see how the students give you unprompted hugs, how they want to sit next to you during a picnic lunch, how they can’t wait to tell you about their weekend. Your desk is adorned with hand drawn pictures and notes, “To ...”. I notice that, too.

Your students love you, and I know it’s because they feel genuinely loved by you, too.

Your career isn’t an easy one.

But you show up for them anyway.

You push through the hard stuff – the long trainings, the hoops you have to jump through, the heartbreaking truths you know about your students, and the parents who make you the undeserving target of their frustrations.

I know the tears you probably shed behind closed doors, wondering if it’s all worth it. You know in your heart it is.

Dear teachers,

Did you know you’re changing the world?

Did you know how wide the ripples of your impact will go?

Did you know someday when our kids are grown, they’ll remember your name and tell someone that you were their favourite?

That you changed their life?

That they’re a better person because you once believed in them?

Dear teachers ... thank you.

I just wanted you to know.
