This Friday, 30 October, we’re celebrating World Teachers’ Day and recognising the incredible difference teachers make in the lives of our children every single day.

Why not help your school celebrate by adding a little something special to the canteen menu?
✨ Create a teachers-only lunch special delivered to the staff room
🍎 Sell The A+ Lunch Special: a chicken and salad wrap with an apple
☕ Offer a coffee/tea and mini muffin combo to brighten their day.

Whether it’s a special meal, a thoughtful treat or simply a heartfelt thank-you, it’s a wonderful opportunity to show our teachers just how much they’re appreciated.

How will your school be celebrating World Teachers’ Day? Share your ideas with us below! 👇💬

We all remember a teacher who made a difference.

Maybe they helped you understand something that never quite clicked, encouraged you to try something new or saw potential in you before you saw it in yourself.

On Friday 30 October, Australia will celebrate World Teachers’ Day, and this year we’re being encouraged to Shine a light on the teachers who inspire, support and empower young people every day.

So, as we count down to World Teachers’ Day, think about a teacher who made a difference in your life. Why not reach out and let them know?

You can also join the celebrations by sharing your story using and tagging AITSL

👻Happy (almost) Halloween! How creative have our WA schools been with these ideas shared with us over the years? We'd love to see what other spooky specials your canteen has in store this year... share them below.

For a super easy, minimal-prep option, serve up cups of Dracula's Blood for students to sip on (100% apple juice with a splash of beetroot juice). 🧛‍♂️
