World Teachers Day 2018

Teachers at Guides Night

Happy World Teacher’s day to all our school teachers.

The Delacombe Junior Girl Guides acknowledge this special day every year with a “Teachers at Guides Night”. For the 12th year, the girls have invited their school teachers along to participate in an evening of Guide activities.

It takes a dedicated teacher to voluntarily spend non-school hours with their students.  This year, teachers attended from:

• Mount Clear P.S.
• Urquhart Park P.S.
• Phoenix Community College
• Forest Street P.S.
• Ballarat Grammar
• Buninyong P.S.
• Delacombe P.S.

The Guides and their teachers spent the night enjoying subject-related activities, specifically:

• ART – making a uniform sash and badges for their teachers and pinning on a special “World Teacher Day” badge
• LIBRARY – making owl bookmarks and completing a WordFind relating to childrens’ books
• LOTE – communicating via semaphore
• SCIENCE – launching bottle rockets

They were even given a report card !!

In previous weeks, the Guides had baked shortbread biscuits and created gift baskets which were presented at the event.

Teachers Day is acknowledged world-wide and is celebrated in Australia each year on the last Friday in October.
