Teachers get morning tea
The Ettalong Public School Student Representative Council and their parents treated teachers to a special morning tea on Friday, October 28, in recognition of World Teachers Day.
Principal Mr Colin Wallis said gestures such as these show appreciation, thoughtfulness and kindness for the outstanding commitment and dedication teachers show every day.
"So often our teachers' efforts go unnoticed or rewarded," said Mr Wallis.
"Criticism and negativity seems so much easier for many but rarely assists.
"A smile is easier than a frown but makes such a difference.
"It is great to see how mature and thoughtful our SRC members have become.
"The United Nations' World Teachers' Day celebrates the significant role every teacher plays in providing quality education and learning opportunities, particularly for our most valued resource - our young people," said Mr Wallis.
