Welcome to the launch of Teacher Tales – the heartfelt companion series to Lit Happens.

In this warm and honest conversation, Adriel shares his personal teaching journey as a dedicated NSW educator. He opens up about his path into teaching, what a typical day looks like now, a memorable student whose breakthrough left a lasting impact, and one profound life lesson teaching has taught him beyond the classroom.

This new series celebrates real teacher stories across all Key Learning Areas, creating a supportive space for educators to connect, reflect, and feel seen.
