Last week, our college community came together to celebrate World Teachers’ Day – taking time to appreciate the incredible heart, patience, and dedication that our staff pour into our classrooms every single day.
As part of our celebrations, we marked a truly remarkable milestone: honouring our Head of Science, Mrs Barnabas, as she reached 23 years of service with us. Over more than two decades, Mrs Barnabas has guided thousands of secondary students through biology, chemistry, and human science, nurturing both academic curiosity and personal growth.
Reflecting on her journey, Mrs Barnabas shared:“Teaching has never just been a job for me; it has been a calling. What has kept my heart anchored here for over two decades is the people — the incredible colleagues who have become lifelong friends, and the students whose resilience, honesty, and unique journeys keep me inspired every day.”
As Principal Mrs Clements shared during our celebrations, reflecting on Mrs Barnabas’ enduring legacy within the college:
“Twenty-three years is a wonderful testament to consistent commitment and care. Felicity leads with wisdom, warmth, and a deep dedication to nurturing each student as an individual. She is a pillar of our college community, and we are thrilled to honour her as our ‘World Class Teacher’ this World Teachers’ Day.”
Thank you to Mrs Barnabas, and to every single one of our teachers, for your ongoing dedication to shaping the next generation here at South Coast Baptist College.
