World Teachers' Day 2017


Celebrated in over 100 countries, World Teachers' Day acknowledges the efforts of teachers in an increasingly complex, multicultural and technological society.

The first World Teachers’ Day was held on 5 October 1994 by UNESCO to acknowledge the importance of competent, qualified and motivated teachers in society. Internationally World Teachers’ Day is celebrated on 5 October, however as this is usually during Australian school holidays, Australia celebrates the day on the last Friday in October of each year.

Show your appreciation on World Teachers' Day, Friday, 27 October or give a Thank-a-teacher card on Thank a teacher Thursday (26 October) when the Story Bridge lights up for teachers.

To all our teachers at JCU and to the students who are completing Education courses - thank you! You really do make a difference.
