Making the Grade

The new Graduate Diploma of Education (Primary) at Gippsland is expected to help ease the pressure of Victorian and Gippsland teacher shortages. This full-time, one year program, on offer at the Gippsland Campus for the first time in 2006, enables prospective students who have already completed an undergraduate degree to establish a broad conceptual understanding of the field of education and the specifics of classroom teaching. Information on the new course can be obtained from VTAC or the Faculty of Education at the Gippsland Campus.

Associate Professor Harry Ballis was appointed Executive Director to the Gippsland Education Precinct last week by the Board of the Gippsland Education Precinct (GEP). Associate Professor Ballis will put together a structure and set strategic directions to ensure the GEP achieves its vision.

Open Subject
