Today, on World Teachers’ Day 2025, I want to say a huge thank you to the incredible teachers across Australia who give so much of themselves every single day. 🇦🇺💛

Teaching isn’t just a job, it’s an act of faith. Faith in young people, in the power of learning, and in the belief that what we do today shapes a better tomorrow.

To every teacher who shows up with patience, good humour and care,  who finds a way to spark curiosity, steady a wobble, or help a student believe in themselves — thank you. You make a bigger difference than you’ll ever know.

Your impact goes far beyond the classroom. It’s in the confidence of a student who dares to try again, in the kindness shared in a playground, and in the strength of the communities you help build.

Today we celebrate you, your professionalism, creativity, resilience and heart.
You truly are the heartbeat of our schools.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🌟
