Teachers Influence Eternity

Celebrating Our Teachers on World Teachers Day Oct 28^th

A quote by Historian and Academic, Henry B Adams “Teachers influence eternity; (they) can never tell when (their) influence stops”, highlights the important role that teachers play in the lives of young people and the shaping of present and future generations.  Teachers are constantly inspiring hope and enhancing agency. Through informal and formal interactions lives of young people are influenced who in turn, will influence and shape families and communities. Through conversation, listening, facilitating, demonstrating, encouraging, appreciating, advising, laughing, challenging, celebrating, believing, counselling, planning, thinking, reflecting, forgiving, accepting, caring, empathising and coaching, teachers inspire possibility and achievement in the lives of young people.

At Pacific, we celebrate a team of excellent educators who give generously of themselves as people and professionally each day.  The energy and joy that comes from learning and growing together permeates through the College daily.  Our teachers have a strong sense of purpose as they engage with our young people and parents and work together to continually reflect on how to improve the learning and growth of individuals and groups of students.  We are very blessed by the people that God has brought into this community as teachers.
