Students are required to successfully complete a professional experience program of up to 25 days (dependant upon accreditation requirements) where they will engage with issues of teaching and learning, planning and assessment. Understanding of curriculum, diverse cultural perspectives and social justice issues will be reflected in the teaching programs undertaken in the school context.
