Next week our 309 Queensland Catholic schools will join school communities across the state to #ThankQldTeachers in celebration of World Teachers’ Day (WTD) 2021.

World Teachers’ Day is a wonderful opportunity each year for us to celebrate and thank the more than 12,000 Queensland Catholic school teachers who support more than 155,000 students across the state.

Teachers make a difference every day, educating and inspiring young people through their words and through their actions. In partnership with families and other school staff, they play a vital role in a young person’s development and help them achieve their goals. 

I would like to thank all schools who contributed to this year’s WTD cross-sector campaign. School communities can find resources to assist with their promotion of the event on the World Teachers’ Day website here.

The Department of Education has produced a WTD podcast series which features Ambrose Treacy College Senior Religion teacher Sara Condon and past student Patrick Robinson. Listen to the podcast here.

QCEC has also produced the video message below to thank Queensland Catholic school teachers for the vital role they play in our schools. We hope you will share it with your school community when it is launched on our social media sites next week.
