Media Release: Aspiring Educators Choosing Regional Experiences

We have continued to build our partnership with the University of Notre Dame Australia (UNDA) by placing students in Tamworth to give them a taste of regional living and the career opportunities that can be pursued in the bush.

Placing student teachers in regional towns not only allows for a positive learning experience in the classroom, it also provides the opportunity for students to be immersed in the unique social, sporting and cultural aspects of the community.

Alexandra, who has been placed at St Nicholas Primary School, Tamworth says “I’m so lucky that my university has made such a strong connection with Armidale Catholic Schools. I have always wanted to do a placement in rural NSW and they have made it happen. I would recommend this experience to anyone.”
