The CIE C'tee is planning a tour of the School of Education at Edith Cowan University on Monday 13th September 2010. 

Those interested or potentially interested in studying education and teaching in the future are encouraged to attend the tour.

The tour will start at 5pm at the Mt Lawley campus.  After a tour of the university and School of Education, we will enjoy a BBQ dinner together, which will then be followed by several presentations of current 'student teachers' regarding their studies and how they came to choose their career path.

The evening will also give an opportunity for people to speak to the first year teachers and the 'student teachers' regarding their studies and experiences in studying education at university.

Please RSVP to careers@frsa.asn.au to confirm your attendance at the tour before 3rd September.

The CIE looks forward to seeing you there!

Last week Friday, the CIE hosted a morning tea to announce the winners of the 2010 Teaching in Tassie program.  CIE invited the applicants, JCCC teachers, a representative from the Board and JCCC Council to attend the event.

The Board Chairman, Steve Terpstra, gave a small speech on the importance of a career in teaching.  Following his speech the CIE Chairman, Jacques Kortenoeven, explained the anonymous judging process to those present.  All reference to names had been removed from the applications before being sent to the judges, therefore there could be no bias in the judging.

After reading out short extracts from the applications of the winners, the successful applicants were announced.  The winners of the 2010 Teaching in Tassie program are..... Shimone Spyker from Yr 10 and Stephanie Terpstra from Yr 11.  Congratulations to both Shimone and Stephanie!!!

The winners were presented with a certificate of achievement and the other applicants received a certificate of recognition for their applications.  Well done to all those who applied for the program!  See below a couple photos from the event....

On Monday morning CIE invited Denise vanDyk, a 4th year uni student, to give a presentation to the students regarding her studies in education.  Denise is studying teaching at Edith Cowan University.  She is doing a major in Home Economics and hopes to start teaching at a high school next year.  Click here to view her PowerPoint presentation.

Chloe Plug and Jordan Bonker also gave a presentation on their experiences in Tassie.  They both applied for the Teaching in Tassie 2009 program, through which they were sent to Launceston for a week of work experience in Launceston John Calvin School (LJCS). 

CIE received a great response from Chloe Plug, Jordan Bonker and the staff at LJCS about the program.  Therefore the CIE plans to relaunch the program in 2010!  Three students will be sent to Tassie in June/July this year to experience 'what it could be like' as a teacher.  Click here to download an application form.  Applications close on Friday 23rd April.
