Sebastian Cardone
Bachelor of Teaching (Middle) with Bachelor of Arts
"The implementation of the eLearning program and incorporation of Apple devices and technologies throughout the degree holds an exclusiveness about it. It allows students to understand how powerful a tool a tablet can be in the classroom. The creative aspect to let your imagination run free certainly rings true in the tech reliant world we live in today and it’s the need to adapt to this inevitability that will allow the next generation of young teachers coming through to really be, ‘mavericks of change and innovation’
Isabella Keepes
Bachelor of Teaching with Bachelor of Science
The link between STEM and creating a more innovative world in order to solve the problems our generation face is constantly increasing. To study a double degree with secondary teaching gives me the incentive to achieve the best results to help me empower new generations of young adults to use what they learn inside the classroom in everyday problems affecting the world.
Fiona Dimopoulos
Master of Teaching (Middle and Secondary)
"The Master of Teaching is delivered by experienced and passionate academics who model all the qualities of great teachers. The programme promotes new teaching approaches and empowers pre-service teachers to develop both professionally and personally. Through the programme I have been able to critically explore and further mature my skills and ethos as an educator."
