Today, 30th October, is World Teachers' Day. This is an opportunity for us all to reflect on the great teachers we have had in our lives, not just at school but those significant people who have helped us become the people we are today. 

I am continually learning and have been privileged to have many amazing teachers in my life from Sr Joan in Year 2, Mrs Slater in Year 11/12 Biology and Chemistry, Mrs Crouch my 3^rd year Prac. Supervisor, my nan and my mum, Fr O’Leary and Fr Mayne and Mrs Orr and Mrs Evans, just to name a few. Learning is a continual process and it does not stop when we leave school!

So today, I would like to acknowledge all the amazing teachers I have had in my life, and continue to learn from, but specifically acknowledge and thank the dedicated and caring teachers we have at St Francis Xavier School; Mrs Rachael Morris, Mrs Amy Golding, Mrs Marilyn Shaw, Mrs Sarah Whiting, Ms Alison Wheeler, Mr Adam Kerezsy, Miss Sharon Thorpe, Miss Joy Kelly, Miss Georgina Kelly, Mrs Emma Brown, Mrs Maddie Frankel, Mrs Nicole Wood and Mrs Emily Blacker. We are truly blessed with these amazing teachers and I learn more from them everyday!
