Secondary school teachers can have a profound influence on the lives of young people. They challenge, encourage and inspire. They appreciate the Arts as vital to a well-rounded education.

Develop your digital capabilities in our eLearning Program – the first and only one of its kind for Education students in Australia. We will show you how to use your own iPad with pencil and keyboard to its full teaching potential so you can earn Apple Teacher status. You might even do your first year placement in an Apple Distinguished School.

# When applying for the music teaching major (SATAC code 354441), you also need to attend and pass an audition/interview and a musicianship test. Selections are made on the basis of audition/interview scores combined with academic achievement and the musicianship test score. It is possible to audition for more than one instrument or study area if you have multiple interests/skills. Please find dates and deadlines, as well as the audition registration form, at the Elder Conservatorium of Music.
