Goulburn East. Their attitude and willingness to be fully involved in
the University of Canberra and the University of New England by
their first experience of planning and teaching lessons. Some teaching
students are near the end of their training and are teaching for
substantial amounts of time. The success of this at GEPS is due to the
dedication of the teachers and the positive approach of the students. I
thank the teachers for their amazing efforts in guiding the next
generation of teachers towards success.
Have a lovely week,
