Bachelor of Secondary Education (Health and Physical Education)

The Bachelor of Secondary Education is a four-year degree that allows students to become high school teachers in their chosen discipline. The degree prepares students for the schools and classrooms of today by developing deep content and pedagogical knowledge - that is, what to teach and how to teach it - within a globalised society.

Students will study subjects aligned with their major discipline while also developing key professional knowledge about how the brain works, psychology and adolescent development, classroom management and relationships, Aboriginal education, inclusion, special education, technology Pedagogy.

This degree is underpinned by quality professional experience placements in schools and other educational settings where students work with classroom practitioners to combine theory and practice. Most majors within the Bachelor of Secondary Education can be undertaken with an approved minor in order to pursue eligibility for a NESA second teaching area.

All initial teacher education students will need to meet the benchmark set by the national Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students before their final professional experience placement and graduation. Literacy and numeracy test details.
