World Teachers’ Day 2024 - Student Art Competition

For World Teachers' Day 2024, we celebrate these everyday superheroes who dedicate their lives to lighting the path to knowledge and understanding.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and they don't always wear capes. Sometimes, they stand at the front of a classroom, armed not with superpowers, but with knowledge, passion, and dedication. Teachers are the unsung heroes of our society, shaping minds, nurturing potential, and inspiring greatness. They ignite curiosity, instil values, and empower the next generation to reach for the stars.

Join AISNSW and the Independent sector in honouring teachers and showcasing their heroism through the artistry of students in our "Not All Heroes Wear Capes" art competition.
