Teaching placements

All students need to complete a number of teaching placements in a diverse range of practicum settings (as prescribed by the Teaching Council). During your placements you work with children between 5 and 12 years in a variety of primary and intermediate schools.

This workplace experience helps you become an effective, responsive and reflective teacher and achieve the Teaching Council Graduating Teacher Standards.
