Our Kingswood Campus was buzzing last Thursday as the School of Education hosted 70 Teacher Cadets from Doonside, Kingswood, Cranebrook and Eagle Vale for the Growing Great Teachers Program in partnership with Creating Chances
Dr John Ley Associate Lecturer, Mathematics Education, delivered an engaging mock tutorial to a full house of Year 10-12 students, proving that maths can be fun when you’re learning with purpose.
A special thank you to the Future Students Engagement Team, including Genevieve Bryant and our Student Ambassadors, for their support in helping make the day a success.
It was amazing to see so many young people exploring university life, connecting with our staff and imagining themselves as future teachers. A brilliant day for our future educators.
