Member for Forde Bert van Manen MP has encouraged students and school communities in Logan and the Northern Gold Coast to thank and acknowledge the hard work of our teachers and celebrate World Teachers’ Day in Australia.
Mr van Manen said teachers and school leaders played a critical role in the lives of our kids, and it was more evident than ever this year.
“Teachers and school leaders have a challenging job at the best of times, but the ongoing risks and challenges posed by COVID-19 are exceptional, and I continue to be impressed by how teachers in Logan and the Northern Gold Coast are responding,” Mr van Manen said.
“Teachers have continued to support our students throughout this pandemic, and we owe them a great deal of gratitude for their work.
“On World Teachers’ Day we pay tribute to every teacher and the hard work and passion they continue to bring to their important job.
“As we approach the end of what has been a difficult school year, I thank each of the teachers across the City of Logan and the Northern Gold Coast for the role they have played in helping schools continue to deliver a world-class education to our students in these challenging times.
“Our local teachers in Forde deserve our thanks every day, but on World Teachers’ Day I especially encourage students, parents, families and communities across Australia to say a special thank you to their teachers.”
“There are over 40 schools in the electorate of Forde and it is always great to get into those schools to see the impact of our teachers on our kids. They are fostering the bright minds of the future and I commend them for their effort over those difficult months this year.”
World Teachers’ Day is being celebrated in Australia on Friday, October 30, 2020.
