World Teachers Day 28th October
This year, World Teachers’ Day is on Friday 28 October. It is an opportunity to say thank you for the incredible contributions teachers make to our community.
We recognise the passion teachers have, and how teaching has extended beyond the classroom to maintain connections through flexible learning.
You can get involved by sending a message of thanks to a teacher who is making, or has made, a positive impact on your life using #thanksvicteachers on social media. Don’t forget to tag the Department of Education and Training (the department) so we can see all your messages.
Head to the department’s World Teachers Day webpage for resources to help you celebrate World Teachers’ Day 2022, including ‘Thank You’ card templates.
Nominate a teacher or principal for an award or recognition
Do you know a teacher or principal who deserves recognition for their hard work?
Teachers and principals across Victoria have taught and supported their communities during bushfires and through a global pandemic. Australian Honours recognise outstanding individuals who have contributed to their community or profession.
It's easy to nominate someone for Australian Honours and it's a great way to recognise their effort, talent and dedication.

Digital Support
Canvas Error 403.
If that is a familiar screen, then I’m hoping what follows is of some support. You’ve likely encountered this screen when trying to access your students work via the link in an email from Canvas? If that is the case, then what’s happening is you end up trying to open a file that you are not signed in to be able to access. It’s not ideal but the best way to access your students work is laid out below and hopefully it will also mean you can start view their work through the links.

Don't forget the E-Conference Webinar - 24 October!
Just a quick reminder about our E-Conference on 24 October, focusing on Relationship based Education. Relationship based Education (RbE) is a philosophy of education that puts relationships at the centre. It was developed by John Hendry OAM based on his 50 years experience as an educator. Relationships that form in the educational environment are the bedrock for everything else that happens. This e-conference is suitable for parents and schools.
Conference speakers
The conference will be opened by the Minister for Education, Natalie Hutchins. John Hendry will introduce the concept of Relationship based Education, followed by academic Kristin Reimer speaking on what teachers need to know and how RbE can help. Then we'll hear from teachers and principals who are actually putting RbE into practice. You'll hear how it's been working at Ocean Grove Primary School and Prahran High School. John Hendry has worked with both schools to implement the RbE philosophy, so you can hear how it works 'on the ground'. There will be a chance to ask questions via the Q&A box.
