The pre-service teachers have come to the school from Charles Sturt University Bathurst and the University of New England in Armidale.
During their time at Oberon, they have been observing in the classroom, assisting in running classes themselves and learning the art of teaching in a practical way.
This mandatory component of their tertiary studies allows them to see how the theory they have been learning at university translates into real life in the classroom.
Oberon High has provided mentors for the pre-service teachers, knowing that it is important that a new generation of teachers is prepared for the future.
“We’re happy to host pre-service teachers and I’m especially pleased that our school can offer practical experience to former student Acacia Howarth (class of 2015),” English and HSIE head teacher Nicole Francis said.
“She’s studying to be an English teacher and I know that she’s going to be an awesome teacher.”
