Students have worked hard this year – and so have you.
As exam season rolls around, the pressure ramps up for everyone. Between revision sessions, marking, and supporting student wellbeing, it’s easy to feel stretched thin.
A recent study from Deakin University found that Australian teachers experience significantly higher stress and burnout compared to the average worker. (Source: Education Matters)
- Average Burnout: Primary teachers 67.2 | Secondary teachers 60.6 | Workforce average 47.6
- Average Stress: Primary teachers 55.1 | Secondary teachers 50.8 | Workforce average 40.2
