Eleni Stamelos, Bachelor of Teaching
"The School of Education has prepared me to become a Senior Secondary English high school teacher. Down the track, I can see myself returning one day to conduct research, lecture or tutor, as this all encompasses my own love of learning."

Teaching Capabilities Statement
In South Australia, all applicants to all teacher education programs require you to complete a Teaching Capabilities Statement as the non-academic entry requirement. This Statement has a set of three questions that encourage you to think carefully about your decision to become a teacher, what motivates you in this decision, and to share your understanding about the role.
