Caillin Rolfe Secondary education/science - double degree course For Caillin, Education at Monash provides nothing less than the opportunity to have a profound and life-altering affect on other people. Having been himself inspired by his year-nine homeroom, maths and science teacher, he knows a Monash double degree in Secondary education and science will maximise his talents and allow him to help growing minds maximise theirs. Prepares you to complete an advanced master s in just one additional year. Gives a grounding in research and provides a direct pathway into research degree courses. *This is an accelerated course where you will be required to undertake more than the Standard Annual Load of 48 credit points. Caillin s year-nine teacher changed his life for the better. From that time on, his course was clear to him: Doing a double degree in Education and Science has been my ultimate goal since I was 15, and now that I m here I could not appreciate it more. He s also canny enough to realise he s effectively fast-tracking his career: by the time he s 22, he ll have two bachelor s degrees, and the world of teaching at his feet. But while he s long known where he is going, the journey has not lost the capacity for surprise. Teaching placements in primary schools opened Caillin s eyes to the full miracle of human development: For really the first time in my life I learnt to appreciate the immense amount of effort that my parents and early teachers placed into me

8 Experiences beyond the classroom Do your placement overseas Monash University prides itself on developing graduates who are ready and well-equipped to enter the world of teaching. We place a high priority on providing students with opportunities to develop inter-cultural learning capacities and to gain international s in a diverse range of contexts. We understand that professional should include cultural competencies as well as teaching skills for diverse learners in an increasingly interconnected global education community. The International Professional Experience (IPE) program also endeavours to make a contribution to the host schools and communities in which our students work. Students have the opportunity to complete international professional in the following locations China, Cook Islands, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates. Ryan Lucas Education (Honours) Education graduate Ryan Lucas credits a fourth year overseas teacher placement in the Cook Islands for giving him the communication skills needed for working with Indigenous youth in Central Australia. MONASH EDUCATION Ryan spent 2013 in the Solomon Islands with the Australian Volunteers for International Development program. He then relocated to Alice Springs where he worked, firstly, as youth development team leader before moving into a new role as coordinator for sports development and youth diversion at the MacDonnell Regional Council, the local government body responsible for 13 remote Indigenous communities. I think my previous in the Cook and Solomon Islands was good preparation for Alice Springs. The fourth year placement in the Cook Islands gave me teaching in a completely unique and removed setting from anything I d done before and that set me up to do this sort of remote work. The placement opportunities overseas were a great thing I took out of my time at Monash, he said. Emma Hainsworth Primary education Completing professional at a local Italian Primary school in Prato was an unforgettable for Emma. Not only did she immerse herself fully in Italian culture, she gained invaluable professional perspective and expertise: This helped me realise who I wanted to be as a teacher and what I valued as a teacher. Emma s ambition to make a difference to the education and life chances of future generations is about to come to fruition. Emma has now graduated with a Primary education degree, and is fully prepared to begin work as a prep teacher. Aside from the inspiration her time at Prato provided, she s found professional placements to be personally and professionally the most significant part of my learning. MONASH EDUCATION 12 13

You will develop a wide range of invaluable skills including leadership, teamwork, public speaking and group facilitation. Also, access professional development activities and receive mentoring from staff and formal recognition from the Dean a great addition to your CV. I want to become an influential role model that can make an impact in children s lives. Mariah Martin Primary and secondary special education Mariah Martin Primary and secondary special education One of the best things Monash has given Mariah is the chance to give to others. She always knew she wanted to become an influential role model that can make an impact in children s lives. Now, her studies in Special Education, and her work as a Student Ambassador, have made that aspiration a reality. Zoey Dong Secondary education/visual arts - double degree course Zoey Dong loves being a Faculty of Education Student Ambassador. She became an ambassador in her second year at Monash University and says it has been a rich and rewarding. Being a Student Ambassador has been perhaps the most fulfilling of Mariah s time at Monash. Not only has it allowed her to give back to the Monash community helping current and future students adjust to university and make the most of their but she s found it a massive boost to skills such as leadership, event planning, effective teamwork, social mannerisms and planning and organisation. While Mariah is still choosing between a career in primary, secondary and special education, she knows she ll be able to call on these skills throughout her future as an educator. MONASH EDUCATION I ve had so much fun and met so many lovely friends. Coming to Monash as an international student, I found it difficult socially because I didn t have any connections from high school so becoming an ambassador opened up a whole new network of social connections for me, she said. I ve really enjoyed getting to know other first-year students and, in particular, helping new international students adjust to the campus environment and explaining how things work. Some of the many highlights I ve had include organising the Amazing Race during O week, going to the MCG to watch Australian Rules Football, helping with the Careers Expo and the 50th Gala Dinner, and getting in design and marketing through the group s many events. The Student Ambassador Program offers a host of opportunities to gain important leadership, teamwork, public speaking and event management skills. Student Ambassadors have the chance to represent and promote the Faculty of Education. MONASH EDUCATION 14 15

That s why we embed leadership into your course from the beginning. As well as helping you to become an expert in your field, every Monash student learns to lead.

I ve always been passionate about education and teaching and can t think of any better field to work in. It helps people realise their potential and pursue many more opportunities. With an almost perfect ATAR score of Emmeline Be knew she could choose any course she wanted. In her fourth and final year, Emmeline completed her practicum in two different schools in Johannesburg, South Africa. It has been such a privilege to have taught in South Africa. I will always cherish the opportunity of getting to know the incredible students and people of South Africa, and teaching in a tiny portable classroom with fifty students scattered around the room with absolutely no resources. Being immersed into an entirely different cultural context has reinforced the fact that education is key to empowering individuals. Liam Bassett Primary and secondary education Jessica Kirkham Early years and primary education Upon graduation, Emmeline landed a job at Balwyn High teaching accounting and commerce. Liam now knows that it s the students who engage in activities and clubs that are most focused and enjoy university a lot more. It s not just the quality of education that has made his time at Monash a truly life-changing ; it s the opportunities beyond the classroom that have really helped him shine. Liam has really got his teeth into his Education course. Taking full advantage of the small teaching groups and first-class resources at the Monash Berwick campus and of course the immense amount of help his tutors and lecturers have always been happy to provide he s worked hard to focus and refine his teaching skills. Now, as Vice-President of the Monash Union of Berwick Students (MUBS), and with the confidence-building rigour of professional placements under his belt, he has the confidence and expertise to make his mark as an educator of future generations. Monash gave Jess the opportunities to realise her childhood ambition to be a kindergarten teacher. What advice does she have for students choosing Education? The opportunities are endless. Take the opportunities presented to you. This can be the beginning of an amazing learning journey. For Jess, the best of those opportunities was to study abroad. During my third year, I was offered a grant through the Australian Government and European Union to study for four months in Denmark as part of the Global Leadership and Citizenship in Early Childhood Education Mobility Project. I studied at the University of Northern Denmark in Hjørring and had a five-week placement at a Danish kindergarten. Her in Denmark took her understanding of childhood development to a new level, and gave her the confidence she needs to excel in her current job as a Kindergarten Teacher and Supervisor with the City of Casey. Jess has always wanted to make a positive difference to children s learning and development; now, that s what she does every day. I ve just started my first teaching job, but my dream job would be setting up education programs for an NGO somewhere overseas, perhaps in Papua New Guinea, Vietnam or Tanzania.
