Bachelor of Education (Health and Physical Education)

Bachelor of Education (Health and Physical Education) (Honours)

National Criminal Record Check 

Students may be required to undergo a criminal record check and/or complete a Prohibited Employment Declaration under the Child Protection Act 1998 as part of professional experience requirements. These checks are intended to identify people who might, because of convictions for such things as violence or sexual offences, put students/clients' personal safety or health at risk. Traffic violations and other minor offences are not of interest.

As such, prospective students should be aware that an inability to obtain a criminal record clearance or complete a Prohibited Employment Declaration may limit practicum opportunities in some organisations and industries. Furthermore, criminal convictions involving violence or sexual offences may limit continued enrolment in a course and/or employment opportunities after completing the course.

If you have any queries regarding these matters, including the opportunities available for review of a particular case, contact the Course Director.

Workplace learning

Students undertake four placements in the workplace, two Professional experience placements, and an internship in each of these locations.

Professional experience

It is expected that students will complete at least one of the placements in a rural community. Preservice teachers will be required to successfully complete the professional experience program and submit a critical professional commentary for final terms of this subject.

As the preservice teacher's next placement is an internship, there is a requirement that she/he will be capable of demonstrating active engagement as a new professional and meet the accreditation requirements of the NSWIT in respect of Graduate Teaching Standards.

Internship

The Internship is the culmination of the professional experience program in this course. It is anticipated that preservice teachers will return to the same setting as their second professional experience to enable him/her to build on their understanding and relationships developed in that context.

Anaphylaxis training for all initial teacher education students

The NSW Institute of Teachers now requires that all initial teacher education students have training in anaphylaxis. In order to meet this requirement, ALL students must complete the training module found at http://etraining.allergy.org.au. The online module takes approximately one hour to complete.

On successful completion of the online module, participants will receive a certificate of completion. A copy of this certificate must be attached to your application for your professional experience placement. The NSW Institute suggests that students also present a copy of their certificate of completion to principals at the commencement of their professional experience placements. The training must be successfully undertaken every two years and students will need to ensure that their certificate of completion is current.

The NSW Department of Education and Communities advises that students who do not successfully complete this training, as verified by the university, will not be able to undertake professional experience activities in NSW public schools.
