Putting a value on teachers

School captains Kalin Geromet and Hugh Brennan thanked their teachers for their hard work.

TEWANTIN State School stopped to celebrate their teachers for all they do on Friday in honour of World Teachers’ Day.
School principal Corrie Connors says World Teachers’ Day is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge how great teaching can have a powerful effect on student performance.
On Friday (28 October), teachers were presented with certificates of appreciation as well as acknowledged at the school parade and treated to a morning tea.
“Tewantin teachers are highly committed, dedicated and passionate for every child to succeed and enjoy their educational experience,” Ms Connors said.
School captain Kalin Geromet said she enjoyed how Tewantin State School teachers taught carefully and sincerely.
“They teach us the importance of education in our life through their continuous efforts,” she said.
“They inspire us with their experienced way of teaching and enjoyable activities that help us to go forward.”
School captain Hugh Brennan said the relationship between students and teachers was critically important.
Hugh said World Teachers’ Day was the day students got to thank their teachers and urged others to think of ways to acknowledge the hard work of their teacher.
“My teacher makes it worthwhile for me to come to school,” he said. “I value her humour, the work, the challenges, my classmates, the surprises, how she gets my humour, the money … fake unfortunately.”
