Celebrating our outstanding educators this Teachers' Day
Today is Teachers’ Day and, as it so happens, today also marks the 11th anniversary of Wellington College China. Ms Joy Qiao, our Founder and Chairman, and Ms Helen Kavanagh, our Chief Executive Officer, are marking the occasion by visiting Wellington College Tianjin and Wellington College Hangzhou, where they are attending celebration events and thanking our staff for their ongoing commitment and contributions over the past 11 years.
On this occasion, we would also like to thank our teachers – especially our new arrivals who have travelled from abroad to join the Wellington Family in China. We are proud of the fact that this year, we are among the first in the industry to have welcomed most of our overseas teachers back to our campuses.
Wellington College China sees Teachers’ Day as a very important holiday, and we decided to designate this day as our anniversary because we know that teachers are the backbone of our education system. Over the past few months, the world has been turned upside down. Every day we’ve been reminded of how much we rely on our teachers to keep our communities together. Now, more than ever, we must shine a light on their profession.
We are committed to delivering world-class holistic education, and we are fortunate to be surrounded by highly skilled and experienced educators whose commitment to their roles is beyond compare. Our teachers have varied and interesting backgrounds in education, work experience from all over the world, and they are driven by a genuine desire to inspire the pupils in their care. To support their efforts, we provide our teachers with a range of opportunities for professional learning and training throughout the school year.
To help our new teachers settle into their jobs, we recently launched a new summer training programme. This programme offers support that comes in a variety of forms, including workshops and education forums that cover a diverse range of topics such as assessment, item-based learning, school-based research, behaviour management and school environment management. It is our hope that each of our teachers will realise their full potential and continue to be a lifelong learner here at Wellington College China.
Across three cities and five campuses, we have now amassed a pool of educators from all over the world who are able to share their experiences and support each other’s growth. We are proud of our teachers for their ongoing commitment to providing outstanding education in our schools, and we would like to extend our utmost appreciation to them for being integral members of our international community.
The celebration event at Wellington College Shanghai will be hold next week. Happy Teachers’ Day to all of our wonderful teachers!
Join Wellington College China today
and help build a brighter future
for the global citizens of tomorrow!
