St Philip's Teaching School Students Impress:

​September: In addition to the over 300 hours which Hub-based teacher education students spend in the classroom across the period of their degrees, each student undertakes three formal practicum periods outside their home school. In the latter half of 2019, two students undertook practicums at the Scots College, Bellevue Hill.  Both of them, Hannah and Jarrad, not only found superior levels of engagement from their host school mentors, but impressed those mentors with their maturity and classroom preparedness. James Graham, a mentor teacher in the Scots Preparatory School on Mansion Road, Bellevue Hill, enthused: "Right from the start, it was less like having a prac student in the classroom, and more like co-teaching with a colleague. Even with limited exposure to the model, I really feel it is a 'superior pathway'. Hannah is a very impressive teaching student. She has a bright future ahead of her." ​
