World Teachers’ Day

Friday 31st October

Today we mark World Teachers’ Day! A special moment to honour the incredible educators who shape hearts and minds every day. Teaching is not for the faint-hearted; it calls for deep commitment, compassion, and a fierce belief in the power of learning to transform lives.

Today, i we pause to give thanks and offer prayer for the dedicated teachers of St Mary’s School, for their tireless work in educating, inspiring, and uplifting our students.

We also extend heartfelt gratitude to the teachers of St Mary’s, whose care and creativity continue to make a lasting impact:

For always placing children at the heart of every decision
For bringing joy and freshness to the learning journey
For listening deeply and helping students navigate their challenges
For believing in each child’s potential and cheering them on
For thoughtfully adapting learning to meet diverse needs
For the countless hours spent planning lessons and events beyond the school day
For their exceptional care during excursions, camps, and special experiences
For standing beside students at key milestones—Sacraments, class Masses, and graduation
For their spirit of collaboration and unwavering teamwork
For showing up to community events with enthusiasm and heart
For remaining hopeful and resilient, even in tough times
For nurturing strong, respectful partnerships with families

To all our teachers, thank you! Your work is sacred, your impact immeasurable, and your presence a gift to our school communities.
