A teacher can impact our lives like no one else.

They inform, inspire and mentor us, and shape who we want to become.

Teachers help us to reach further and soar higher than we dare to believe.

Who was or is your favourite teacher, and why?
Did they encourage you to think for yourself, to believe in yourself?
Or did they simply give you a voice?

As many students and parents tackle home schooling, our gratitude for teachers in every field has been recharged.

For the teachers in our lives, we say a heartfelt thank you.
