"As part of my diversity placement I was given the opportunity to travel to the Northern Territory to a remote indigenous community. I was placed in Areyonga, the most beautiful little community with wonderful students and incredible classroom facilities. I’m so proud of myself for taking that leap of faith because now I have so many more skills and experiences under my belt. I really couldn’t recommend this course more." Maddy, Bachelor of Education (Primary)
