“Having my teacher and my parents very engaged in my education has definitely made me value it.”

Chris Mountford, CEO and the team at Independent Schools Queensland wish you and your community a festive holiday period and a prosperous New Year.

“Independent Schools Queensland honours the passion and dedication shown by teachers, coaches, aides, and tutors on World Teachers' Day.”

"Independent schools are so valuable because not everyone learns exactly the same way and not everyone comes from the same place."

"I'm really proud of what I've done. I think it's just reminded me that learning and growth should be always be a teacher's first priority, because when we remember that, it keeps us passionate."

“That's the message that we get back... the teachers really cared about me and this particular teacher inspired me to go into this career path.”

“That’s the beauty of the independent school... they have the right to access a good education because that’s their ticket to a bright adult future.”

“That little spark that you've seen just for that moment, you're actually seeing a potential that can open up a world.”

“The profession we work in is just so rewarding and on a day to day basis we get to inspire. It's such a blessing to have a little fingerprint on the next generation."

“In a challenging time, the willingness and ability to keep pursuing the best possible practice in order to give your student the best possible outcomes, is outstanding.”

“I have learnt more about myself and have skills that other people don't necessarily have and it's all thanks to Voc Ed.”

"I was able to stay in school whilst going to TAFE and doing work experience and this sounded really amazing to me."
