Overview

Teach primary school children. Become an open-minded and confident primary teacher who is responsive to academic needs.

By combining arts with primary education, you'll have over forty arts majors to choose from. You'll study teaching methodology, participate in a primary school based Professional Experience program and satisfy the Key Learning Area (KLA) content requirements of the NSW Institute of Teachers:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science and Technology
  • Human Society and its Environment (HSIE)
  • Creative arts and Personal Development
  • Health and Physical Education (PDHPE)

The main focus is on preparing you to work as a primary school teacher. 

In the Polish major, you’ll study this important language and gain an understanding of the society, culture and history of Poland. Units include Polish literature and theatre, some of which is the most widely acclaimed work to emerge from Central Europe.

Language classes for Polish range from beginners to advanced.

Polish is one of the official languages of the European Union. If you want to use this major professionally, consider combining it with art, politics, international relations, law or economics and finance.
