Education

Inspire the next generation.

The reason I wanted to be a teacher was because of the teachers I had in high school. They really helped me flip my life around... I’m now working alongside these teachers helping school kids realise their own potential, which is mind-blowing.

Meeting and networking with the fantastic School of Education staff was extremely helpful in completing my degree and starting my career. A big draw card for me choosing UQ to study at was the campus culture.
