Teacher's Day

Teachers’ day - a day devoted to appreciating and thanking the teachers for all their hard work. A lot of things in life are taken for granted and this day is to shed light on the fact that teachers have always been there to support us kindheartedly and guide us tirelessly through our years in school. 

Spot your beacons! (That's right)

 This year, Teachers’ Day fell on a school day (Friday, May 16th, to be exact) so TCSH students decided to organise a celebration for the lecturers and staff of TCSH. At 12:30pm onwards, once classes were over, a little surprise awaited them. Firstly, two representatives from the Toastmasters Club made a gratifying speech, thanking the teachers for all they had done for the students and the college. One of the representatives shared a moving story about how, by encouraging her to be fit and start running, Ms. Lauren had helped her escape the horrible possibility of her starving herself. This was just one of many examples showing how deeply the staff of TCSH care for their students.

 The heartfelt speeches were followed by the lovely Cassandra Law expressing her appreciation in a unique and dramatic way through the form of an incredible choreographed contemporary dance. Furthermore, there was a performance of the song “Stand by Me”, which was indeed a fitting song for the day. Finally, the Student Council presented a beautiful video thanking the teachers; there is no doubt that I wasn’t the only person moved by that.

Based on the text, this should be a touching video --

Teachers are educators, mentors, and sometimes, friends. What we have learnt from our teachers, remains with us and whether we know it or not, their existence is a great influence on how our life turns out in the future. Teachers’ Day serves the sole purpose of all of us recognising their hard work as well as making sure teachers know that everything they have done for us is being acknowledged.

Any grumpy faces around?

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!
