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.
Great teachers shape great futures, and you can too! Sponsor a student scholarship today.
I'm looking forward to interacting with Ms Janeth and other English teachers wherever possible while at St Judes in June/July next year.
I should have read the rest of the newsletter before I sent my previous email! I am eagerly anticipating the sense of jamii that will come from meeting students and staff in St Judes next year, as well as the other volunteer English teachers from around the world.
Dear Ms. Janeth,
Congratulations on your incredible dedication and passion for teaching! Your commitment to nurturing young learners and helping them grow into confident, capable individuals is truly inspiring. Your ten years of service reflect not only your love for the profession but also the meaningful impact you continue to make in the lives of your students.
Thank you for being a shining example of what it means to be an exceptional educator. Your hard work, enthusiasm, and genuine care are deeply appreciated. Wishing you continued success as you inspire many more students to dream big and achieve their goals.
Happy World Teachers’ Day, and congratulations once again.
