Congratulations to teachers in schools throughout Australia and the world, as we take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your professionalism and commitment to making a difference in the lives of students.  As endorsed by Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General, "Teachers are the most powerful force for equity, access and quality education. Quality education offers hope and the promise of a better standard of living."

Loving God, giver of all wisdom and greatest of all teachers,

Look upon our teachers with love

Grant them the resolve to nurture our eager minds

And bless them with gentle patience

Help them see the potential in each student

Inspire them to touch the future

Let the light of your example shine upon all teachers

To build up with their words

To love with their mind

To share with their heart.

Amen
