Purpose

To attract high quality, diverse Education Trainees from regional and metropolitan areas to the education profession. We collaborate with independent schools and affiliate universities to provide a range of nuanced experiences that increase confidence and ensure classroom ready teachers.

The provision of tailored professional learning and support enables the authentic application of learning for Education Trainees as they complete their teaching qualification. The meaningful experiences provided through this alternative pathway enhances the practice of Education Trainees, Mentor Teachers and other school staff, helping to grow and retain educators in the independent sector.
