Every year on 5 October the world recognises the vital role teachers play in shaping future generations as we celebrate World Teachers’ Day. At St Jude’s, this day is one of our favourites on the calendar, as we proudly honour the dedication and passion of all our teachers who inspire students to dream big.
We value every contribution and the hard work our teachers pour into helping students thrive. Recently, we caught up with Ms Janeth, one of our primary school English teachers, to hear more about her passion for teaching.
- Growing up, did you always want to become a teacher?
Yes, I always wanted to be a teacher because I always wanted to see young children grow and achieve their dreams. I have been teaching for 10 years now, and I am still happy to see my students growing, something that I have always dreamt about.
- What is the most interesting thing about working at St Jude’s?
Nurturing students from the beginning and helping students to perform well. It’s always great to see them progressing and learning new things about the world around them.
- Why is it important to celebrate World Teachers’ Day?
It is very important to recognise the hard work of teachers and see the challenges that we are going through. I am lucky to work in a wonderful team of teachers and I am happy to be appreciated.
- What advice would you give to aspiring teachers?
Love the job! Because teaching is a calling, and being a teacher, you should always be committed, since teaching is endless learning.
