Australia will celebrate the teaching profession on World Teachers’ Day on Friday 30 October 2026.

This year’s theme is Shine a light on Australia’s teachers who inspire, support, and empower our children and young people every single day. From lightbulb moments to helping someone find their way, teachers make a difference in ways big and small.

Thank you to our dedicated Catherine McAuley College Bendigo teachers for the difference you make every day. We celebrate your commitment to student learning and future success, your work in implementing Classroom Mastery to build calm and engaging classrooms, and your care in fostering connection, belonging and wellbeing through our Mercy Homegroups. Your passion and dedication are deeply appreciated.
