Next, to parents, teachers have one of the hardest gigs in the universe. To celebrate our kids’ teachers and show them some gratitude, check out haven’s favourite teacher competition…
Did you know teachers are leaving their profession in significant numbers, with figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showing more than half of those with a teaching degree not currently working in education? And Federal Government research conducted in 2014 estimates that 20 percent of education graduates do not even register as teachers on graduating – many teachers leave their careers before they even begin them.
The haven team (all parents of school-aged kids) thought it was a time we celebrated these wonderful humans – those people who take the hands of our tiny balls of Preppy shyness and turn them into proud, con dent Year 12 students ready to take on the world. Teachers really are amazing. And we want to know about your amazing teacher!
in our competition will each receive a $100 voucher to spend at Ironlak Art & Design. There are brand new Ironlak Art & Design stores at Westfield Chermside and Westfield Garden City with Ironlak’s flagship store in Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall (and of course, you can nd Ironlak’s professional quality, low-cost art supplies online).
We are also very excited to have national parenting blogger School Mum judging our finalists in search of haven’s favourite teacher. Literally a school mum herself, School Mum Sam Jockel is also keen to show gratitude to our teachers who work in one of the most challenging professions of them all.
To celebrate teachers in all their glory, we want you to nominate your fave teacher for the chance to win them a weekend away. Yes, your teacher works very hard so wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to give them a weekend off, in the ULTIQA Resort of their choice? ULTIQA Resorts set the standard for South- East Queensland holidays with ve exclusive properties across South-East Queensland. The winning teacher’s ULTIQA accommodation prize is valued at $610.To enter our competition, simply tell us in 25 words or less why your teacher is the best. Entries close August 10.
