Each year all teachers are invited to celebrate UNESCO's World Teachers' Day. The day is a wonderful opportunity to draw public attention to the important role of teachers. World Teachers' Day is celebrated in over 100 countries and in Australia this year, on Friday 28 October 2011.
In 2011, World Teachers' Day acknowledges the many ways teachers make a difference through their teaching and commitment, and celebrates teachers as a significant force in building communities.
Teachers matter every day – in the curriculum they teach and how they teach it, as well as through the connections they make with and for their students, and by the way they encourage learning. Teachers often make a significant contribution to their local community and, due to the very nature of their roles, to the wider community.
I would like to take this opportunity to commend all the wonderful teachers at PCLC! I can honestly say that all PCLC teachers are committed to their roles and always take that extra step to deliver the best possible classes to our students. I hope that you all appreciate the important role that you have and how much you are all appreciated!
