Ever wondered what an ITD (Industrial Technology and Design) department gets up to? ITD is about designing solutions and can cover a broad range of topics and mediums. Meet Mr Peachey, who shared his day with us…

Mr Peachey starts his day with his usual administration work and checks that his staff are ready to go.

As Head of Department at Kirwan State High School, his day from 9am to 3pm is split between teaching, supporting staff and working on administration tasks to ensure everything runs smoothly. He also checks up on senior Vocational Education and Training (VET) students to ensure their senior schooling is on track. ✅

We asked what Mr Peachey’s highlight of the day was: ‘Working with a great group of staff that all put in 110% effort into their classes to improve student outcomes.'

And what inspires him to teach each day? ‘Knowing that the opportunities that we give students will give them the knowledge and skills to give them future career and employment opportunities.’ 🔥

🏆 Mr Peachey then rounds out the week with achieving goals on the racetrack, competing and winning trophies in National Drag Racing Championships.

Meet our Primary School Teacher of the Year for the 2026 Australian Education Awards, Emily Graham!

During her five years of teaching at Tagai State College in the Torres Strait 🏝️ , Emily worked across seven different islands, and each one shaped her in a different way. ‘I went there to teach, but I learnt far more than I could ever have anticipated, and I hope this award highlights the importance of educators genuinely listening to and learning from the communities they work alongside.

'It is incredibly humbling to be recognised in this way. But I also hope this award can represent something bigger than my own teaching career—the incredible resilience, intelligence and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and communities who navigate multiple worlds, languages and ways of knowing.

'I hope it also raises awareness that teaching in rural and remote communities should never simply be something to tick off as part of a teaching career. If we immerse ourselves in those experiences, they can fundamentally shape how we see education and should influence every classroom we teach in afterwards.

‘Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders hold some of the world's oldest continuing cultures and knowledge systems, yet that knowledge has been dismissed or overlooked for far too long.' Emily now teaches at Mountain Creek State School on the Sunshine Coast ☀️ and is constantly inspired by how willing her students are to listen and learn. 'I am lucky enough to teach the whole school from Year 1 to Year 6 for Design Technology so continue to share my story with over 750 students a week. They are so curious about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and are genuinely wanting to understand the Country they live on and people who have cared for it for generations and continue to do so today.'

Emily is continuing her own education with a PhD, turning her experiences in the classroom into research, hoping to contribute to conversations around Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education.

Congratulations on your win, Emily! 🏆👏👏👏

What if you could combine a rewarding teaching opportunity with island living, rich history and extraordinary natural beauty? 🌴📚

Norfolk Island, located approximately 1400 kilometres east of Byron Bay, offers teachers the chance to live and work in a truly unique setting. 🌊 Just a 2.5-hour flight from Brisbane or Sydney, it’s a place where community, culture, history and nature are part of everyday life.

Norfolk Island Central School delivers high-quality education for around 300 students from Prep to Year 12. The school works closely with the local community to provide a broad curriculum, including sporting and cultural experiences, while supporting the continuation of Norfolk Island culture and language

For teachers, there is something special about working in a place where learning extends well beyond the classroom. As science teacher Nathan Mullen shares, ‘For a science teacher, Norfolk is an amazing place to work. We have reefs, rainforests, rock platforms, wetlands and marine environments right on our doorstep. There are many opportunities to take learning outside the classroom in our school busses.’

Nathan says, ‘Teaching at NICS gives you a lifestyle that’s pretty hard to beat. You can finish work and be at the beach, fishing, surfing, playing sport or spending time with family and friends within minutes.’

For Femke Cornelissen, teaching on Norfolk is personal: ‘I was born on Norfolk Island and now I get to teach here, which is truly special. I know this island as a local and now as a teacher, and I feel incredibly lucky to call Norfolk home.’

From ancient forest trails to rugged cliff-top views, Norfolk Island is a place where natural wonders aren’t just something you visit, it’s something you live in. Teachers can enjoy a close-knit community and a lifestyle filled with exploration, connection and meaningful work.

🌿 Explore rainforest trails, dramatic coastlines and quiet beaches just minutes from home.

🌿 Enjoy boating, fishing, surfing, swimming and spectacular sunsets after the school day ends.

🌿 Immerse yourself in a community where history, culture and local traditions are woven into daily life.

🌿 Experience teaching in a place where the island itself can become part of your classroom.

If you are keen to consider opportunities on Norfolk Island, ask our recruiters about vacancies today: https://ems.gs/3AzW0cshbhp 🔗

📸 A big thank you to Norfolk Island Central School and its teachers for sharing their stories and photos with us!
