“I really enjoyed being around the school setting and found it a great program to be involved in prior to my first teaching prac as I wasn't entering a school for the first time. The teachers and EA at my PLaN school have been so welcoming and forthcoming with tips and information and I learned so much simply listening to the way the teacher spoke and observing how she structured her sessions. It gave me confidence in developing relationships with students and a network to a school for the future”.

Faye Cooper, Master of Teaching (Early Childhood)
