World Teachers’ Day on October 25 is an opportunity to recognise and applaud educators for their important role in our communities and for the positive impact they have on the lives of students.
The commitment of more than 220 staff who support young people in five Carinity Education schools – including teachers, youth workers, chaplains and support staff – will be recognised on World Teachers’ Day.
They include Crispin Aldiss, a teacher at Carinity Education Rockhampton described by school principal Lyn Harland as “highly dedicated, kind, compassionate and authentic”.
“Crispin’s wealth of educational expertise, positive attitude and engaging manner mean the children are naturally drawn to his classroom and focused on their learning,” Lyn said.
“Crispin’s peers hold him in high regard and the students often wait at the front of school for his arrival and miss him dearly when he is offsite.”
Carinity CEO, Kevin Griffiths, said the theme of this year’s World Teachers’ Day – ‘Teachers make a difference’ – resonates deeply with Carinity’s mission.
“Every day, through dedication and care, our teachers make a significant impact on the lives of our students,” Kevin said.
“Our teachers’ influence extends beyond the classroom, touching the hearts of young people and guiding them towards a future filled with hope, and opportunity.”
