​​‘To become friends and hear the empowering stories of our locals, surrounded by language and culture are cherished moments.’For ten incredible years, Teach Queensland has been at the heart of helping to connect passionate teachers with rewarding careers across our state. As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on the stories of inspiring teachers whose journeys we've been privileged to share. Join us as we catch up with them and see where teaching has taken them since we last spoke to them.​​​
