World Teachers’ Day:
World Teachers’ Day:
Australia will celebrate and thank the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day on Friday 29 October 2021.
Teachers (with support from parents and carers) have ensured education continues across the country this year, despite major challenges. It’s reinforced the significant role teachers play in the lives of children and students, their families, and communities. There are a few ways you can join in saying ‘Thanks’ to our teachers.
Virtual Apple Thank You:
Join with your child to share a million virtual apples with teachers to let them know they’re appreciated. Visit worldteachersday.edu.au and play a virtual game of catching as many apples as you can to add some virtual apples to the collection as a super easy way to say thanks.
Thank You Card:
Print off a Thank You card and ask your child to write a special message to their teacher onto the card. Your child can bring the card along to give to his/her teacher on Friday 29 October.
Post to your own social media accounts like Facebook & Instagram:

Take 3 minutes for yourself this week:
This prayerful meditation is a short way to re-centre yourself and create a sense of connection with others and our universe.
Recognising Halloween:
This weekend our neighbourhoods may have the Trick or Treaters visit. This ancient tradition has its roots in our christian beliefs. Some time ago, Emeritus Bishop Peter Ingham wrote about Halloween and its connection to our Catholic traditions.
