Secondary teaching

 
Secondary school teachers are instrumental in shaping young adults into who they will become. 

Choose from the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) or the Master of Teaching (Secondary) and explore, create and develop new knowledge through practical, school-based learning.

You will learn to guide students’ inquisitive minds, developing high-level academic knowledge and professional skills across teaching and learning, leadership, development, diversity and communication. You'll also gain a broad understanding of the Australian Curriculum, while specialising in your areas of interest in your second program.
