When
you look up the word "teach" in the dictionary, it means
- to educate, to give instructions or
lessons
- to cause to learn, and to understand
- to inspire, to help and guide someone
- to develop academically, socially and
emotionally
- to aid someone in self-improvement.
If the students at Chancellor State College
were asked to add their meaning to what a teacher is, this is what it would
say.
They build peace and strength in our
hearts. They make a small step forward feel like the biggest achievement in
your life. They make us feel safe. They set high standards. They prepare us
for the future. They make our world at school feel normal. They help fix our
conflicts. They show us other ways of seeing the world. The laugh and cry
with us.
We would like to say thank you. The
teachers at Chancellor sate College are the heart of our school.

The
meaning of teacher is a person who teaches or instructs in a given area. But
the teachers of Chancellor State College go above and beyond that meaning.
Not only do you come to school very day ready and willing to educate us on
things outside your expertise, you provide opportunities for students to
excel in and out of school by enhancing our learning opportunities. You
stand as role models not only for myself, but for the students of
Chancellor, by teaching us that hard work and persistence can accomplish
anything.
Being a teacher at Chancellor often
requires you to step out of your comfort zone and try new things. Being here
today means that every single one of you accepts that challenge and is
willing to be a part of making this school one of the best. You strive to
accomplish very goal in front of you, and you prove that as a team every one
really does achieve more and to a high standard. By doing this, you set a
great example for students to learn and accomplish anything they want to do.
The amount of extra-curricular activities
at Chancellor over the last two years has been extraordinary, and we have
you as the teachers to thank for that. You constantly go out of your way to
provide the students with new and exciting ways to learn. So far you have
been able to conduct two overseas trips, numerous sports carnivals, maths
tutorials, interschool competitions, rock band, choir, lunch time
activities, that's just to name a few. You have given so many students
opportunities to excel and try new things. I and many others have gone
beyond what we thought we could accomplish thanks to your commitment and
hard work.
So today on behalf of the student body, I
would like to recognise, appreciate and most of all thank you for all the
hard work that you do. You have been a major role in making Chancellor
College what it is today and we want you to know that your great work
doesn't go unrecognised. you truly are a part of making Chancellor the best
it can be. Thank you.
