Bachelor of Early Childhood Education
Deakin made the process of organising teaching practicums straight-forward. One option was to allow for the professional experience team to find suitable placements close to home. I was also able to suggest specific early childhood services and primary schools that I hoped to be placed within.

Bachelor of Early Childhood and Primary Education
I always wanted to be able to make a difference and make society a better place. I chose this field as it is the starting point of all our lives. This course has taught and made me explore many things, which has made me think differently not only as a teacher but also as a person.
