    A highlight has been the workshops in the Bachelor of Education (Secondary). We get to collaborate and bounce back ideas and topics. The lecturers are so passionate. They really try and help you however they can, whether by email or asking them a question as I'm walking by.

    The Secondary Education course at JCU is amazing. It's practical, applicable and hands-on. I have already completed four Professional Experience placements in just two years of university. A Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship enabled my relocation from the Sunshine Coast and I can work less to concentrate on study.

    I love seeing the kids at my school understand and apply something I’ve taught them and their excitement around that. I made a lot of great friendships at JCU that have continued through into the workplace. Although we’re all working at different schools now, we still collaborate and help each other out.

    We find that JCU graduates have highly developed professional knowledge and an openness to continuous learning. The level of practical experience they gain in their degrees helps them to transition quickly to full time teaching. JCU graduates have a strong understanding of teaching in a regional or remote context.
