“I’ve always wanted to be a Primary<br />
School Teacher.”<br />
I was aware that ECU specialised in teaching and I had a<br />
cousin who highly recommended the <strong>University</strong>. The fact<br />
that each year involved classroom practicals also influenced<br />
my decision to choose ECU. The skills and knowledge<br />
I have gained definitely help when I come across challenges<br />
involving students. I find the <strong>course</strong> to be accommodating<br />
and flexible, and the staff are with me every step of the way.<br />
