Hi Everyone! I'm Alexis and I am 19 years old. I currently work as a part time receptionist at a Real Estate Business and am in my second year of studying. I originally didn't want to do teaching as I have a passion for all this beauty but thought I would give teaching a go and I am throughly enjoying it. I love travelling, being around children, playing sports and being outdoors.

Hi! I'm Madi and I'm 19. I'm trying to brainstorm about things I should write for this but everything I come up with sounds like I'm trying to fill gaps in a dating profile. I currently work as a teacher aide in a primary school, and have been for over a year now. If you couldn't have guessed, I am also in my second year of primary education. I wish I had more to discuss, but I've never left the country and travelled, which I'm hoping to change once I can organise my life properly.

Signing off,
Madilyn Tubbs

Hi Everyone!

My name is Chloe and I am 19 years old. I came into uni straight out of high school, I'm therefore hoping to travel after I finish my degree before I begin teaching in schools. One of my main goals aside from finishing my degree is to work in a summer camp in America or Canada. I have always loved working with children as they keep everyday exciting and a job in teaching provides constant learning opportunities. Through jobs in childcare and youth work I have discovered a passion for helping young people achieve their goals and learn how to participate positively and effectively within their communities. These opportunities have allowed me to travel all around Queensland and Australia to work in cities, rural and regional communities and Indigenous communities, cementing my hope to move to a rural community to begin my teaching journey after graduation.

Hello Everyone,  My name is Somer Laing and I am 20 years old. I am currently working at your average restaurant seeking an opportunity to pursue a career in teaching. I am in the secondary year of Bachelor of Education. I love animals, traveling, being social, having a boogie but most of all I love being around children. My favourite part about teaching is watching the light bulbs that go off in students heads when they understand something and knowing that you helped them, which is awesome. Im excited to see what's to come in the rest of this course.

Hi team, my name is Tristan Vaughan. I am 22 years old and in my second year of my Bachelor of Primary Education. I have spent a couple of years after school to travel, save and develop some life experience to better myself as a person but at present moment fully embracing my journey through university. I am in this course to ultimately make a positive impact on the lives of young people. I was motivated to start because I was fortunate enough to have teachers in my schooling experience guide me in the right direction during rough times who bettered me as a person.

Hi, my name is Tamika. I’m 21 and like everyone here currently trying to juggle life and uni. I’m in my second year of education, working two jobs at Bunnings and Marketta and have a psycho German Shepherd that I adore. My initial dream was to work with children to develop my skillsets and eventually become a social  worker to those who need help and support. I started off studying psychology however realised that I wanted to better understand how to work with children, encourage and teach before advancing my degree and expanding my career. After doing my second practicum I’ve realised that working with children, no matter how, is rewarding enough which is why I’m determined to follow this profession with everything I have.

I have three jobs, two guinea pigs, a boyfriend and a stack of uni work I have not done yet. I was homeschooled from the end of grade eight due to my dads job enabling us to travel.

Hi, my name is Soozie.  I do not have confidence to talk about myself to others.  However, here I am.  I was born and schooled in Seoul, Korea (South).  I migrated to Australia 12 years ago from Singapore with my husband.  We are now Australian citizens and love our lives here and learn much by interacting with dynamic multicultural group of people.   I love experiencing variety, complexity and differences in our values.

I love children so I decided to learn about teaching children.  I have been enjoying learning about new subjects and this technology education, I am very much looking forward to learning.  However, I am a bit (No! very much) concerned if I am able to catching up with the course proceedings as I am not that much used to new advanced technologies such as computers, computational thinking and etc.  In order to teach new high-tech generations, I think I need to be equipped with knowledge and skills to deal with technologies.

While studying hard (ha ha ha), I like to play golf.  I regularly  play at least 2 times a week and I like to travel.  I have travelled Europe, USA, and many Asian countries and lived Singapore for 5 years.  Thank you and "Kamsahamnida" in Korean language.

Hi, I'm Zoe!
I have a passion for exploring and a vested interest in different cultures and ways of living. During high school I quickly recognised my passion for teaching. I was lucky enough to be inspired by a variety of different educators who showed me that the schooling process can be a lot more than providing students with information. During this course I have felt very fulfilled when putting the content we have been taught into practice in a classroom environment.

Hi, I'm Chad, I want to teach in primary schools and once I gain my Bachelor degree I hope to travel as a teacher and gain a wealth of experience from teaching in different cultures. I moved to Australia with my family at age 5 from South Africa. I'd like to learn how to speak Japanese after I finish learning how to speak German.

Hey, I'm Megan, I absolutely love the outdoors, getting active, going on adventures and especially travelling. I have visited 20 countries and have worked at an American summer camp in New York. Before going to the USA to work at the summer camp, I worked full time in a Kindergarten for four and a half years. I now work at a outside school hours care, all of these opportunities have helped to fuel my passion for working with children. Which is why I am here at university studying Primary Education. I am so excited to one day have my very own class!

Hey, my name is Luke,
I love playing sport (Basketball, Netball + Oztag). Sometime this year I want to start travelling aswell, as the furthest place from Aus i have been is NZ. I'm usually quite a quiet person but throughout prac I have needed to come out of my shell which was a great experience. Currently volunteering at Currumbin Primary School aswell to get a feel for how to become the best teacher I can be. Not really the best at uni and staying committed to assessment but I'll give it a red hot crack. Not only do I want to educate children to ensure they can grasp the foundations for later years, but I also want to teach that no matter the grades they obtain, they can chase any goals they want in life if they dedicate themselves to it. Pretty keen to finish this degree, find a job in education and experiencing life/travelling with a little more stability. Cheers :)

My Name is Sarah,
So to mix things up a bit, I love cars. I was born into the car scene and live and breathe anything related to cars. Along side this, I have pretty much always wanted to be a teacher. Not too sure if it has anything to do with being an only child... who knows!
I think the one thing that makes me different from others is that, I spend more money on my car then myself, so for many people that seems crazy.
I can't wait to become a teacher and graduate, although I will only be 20, I think this will be a great achievement!

Hi there!

I'm Emily and I live on acreage and absolutely love animals. I work at the campus bookshop, at all three campuses. I am ESL so my first language is Polish and English is my second. I'd love to travel the world some day, so fingers crossed it happens. Would love to go visit my grandma in Poland to have a white Christmas!

I'm undertaking the Bachelor of Education because I adore children and it's always been my dream to come a primary school teacher, so here I am! :)

Heya, I am Maddy :)
I am returning to finish my degree in education after deferring for two years to work full time to save enough to travel. This broadened my life experiences, knowledge and truly opened my eyes to a world outside of Australia.

Upon returning I have come to the realisation that I want to combine my passion for educating children and my love of music and become a primary school music teacher and am beyond excited!

Evidently I have a strong passion for music and am classically trained in saxophone but also play guitar and have recently taken up the piano. I can't wait to finish my degree and get into the classroom to start educating the children of the future.

Hi! I'm Natasha and I love to travel, explore and experience new places and cultures. During high school, I had the opportunity to teach English to students in refugee camps in Thailand and loved teaching the younger children. After finishing school I contemplated undertaking a few different career paths and started a Bachelor of Exercise Science, but I quickly realised that my passion lies in teaching. My favourite thing about teaching so far is being able to help children of all abilities to achieve something they didn't think they were capable of :)

Hey:)
I am Charlotte,
Since I was a little girl I have always wanted to be a marine biologist, I have the biggest passion for the ocean and protecting it. However, I came to realise that my passion for teaching children was a lot stronger, and found I can still do my part in loving and protecting the ocean even when I become a teacher.
I can't wait to become a teacher and work with children so I can guide them and help them become the best they can be.

G'day G'day, The names William Lewis and i constantly struggle with life as a uni student. Working as a part-time cook, my wages are spent on the usual things such as bills and food, while also funding my ever growing collection on basketball shoes and casino visits.

When i'm not at work or studying, i spend my time as a Twitch and YouTube streamer, where i live-stream video games to the instawebs. Further to this, i am an admin on various Simpsons Meme pages on Facebook.

One of my major passions is basketball. I have been a Lakers fan for nine days since July 2nd when LeBron James signed there *Cough* Bandwagon Fan *Cough*.

Primary School education has always been a dream of mine right from when i was a little tucker. Growing up in a small town in country Victoria, both schools and teachers were entirely scarce. This contributed to my decision early on. As i moved to the Gold Coast for a new start in life, the decision to join this career line was finalised.

Im looking forward to seeing what this life decision has in-store for me and  how it will impact my life for the better.

Hi,
I am Em, in another life I was a journalist and editor, these days I am a mum and very much enjoying the challenges if juggling my parenting with my fourth year studies here at GUGC studying Primary Education. I am a bit of a nerd, but trying hard to incorporate geek elements also.

Education for me – as a life-long learner and a pre-service teacher - is transformative, enriching and challenging. I do what I do because I can see value in the process and in the relationships I forge with students, fellow teachers and faculty. My own personal achievement is measured by happiness and understanding; comprehension and communication of any knowledge is at the core of what I do.

My name is Ali and I was a bit of a late starter when it came to choosing to go to uni. I realised I wanted to become a teacher when my nephew was diagnosed with Autism. I taught him how to swim, count, catch a footy and ride a bike. Even though he failed multiple times and there were many epic meltdowns we managed to finally succeed. He truly is my inspiration…! My nephew has shown me that there is more than one way to learn something. Some people may need a little extra help more than others and that’s ok. Different doesn’t mean less.

I live with my partner and dog, Jobey who is a very large and temperamental kangal X maremma. My hobbies are gardening, reading and my dream is to one day visit Antartica.

Hi there. I'm Sarah. I live in a circus with my 5 children. Well.... 2 children, an oversized man child (husband) and two adorable dogs. We live a busy, messy, colourful life that involves tennis, golf, boat trips, paddle boarding, balloon tennis, reading, family band practice (guitar/keyboard/drums), nerf wars, painting, bike riding, drawing, dance offs, bonfires and occasionally work/homework/study. In terms of personal achievements, I am the runner up tennis table champion of the P & O Pacific Aria cruise ship 2018 and I have managed to raise both my kids to school age without either of them breaking a single bone (probably more of an achievement for them
but I'm claiming it). My favourite colour is yellow and I would love the privilege of being a teacher when I grow up. I have a thirst for knowledge and experience which I hope to share with my students.
