ECU Bachelor of Education (Primary) students Brooke Smith, Cosette Pachioli, Jack Lee, Hannah Cullen and Phillippa Combrink with Executive Dean of Education, Professor Caroline Mansfield.
It’s been wonderful to see the support for ECU’s Future Teacher Fund these past few months.
Thank you to our amazing School of Education and ECU staff community for supporting the campaign, either by donating, sharing our campaign video or Phillippa’s story. We have two more fantastic student stories I encourage you to share with your networks to hear more about the difference their donation can make.
Hannah’s story
You may remember from my previous email that more than 220 of our teaching students report experiencing financial hardship in their final year of study. Sadly, students like Hannah are doing it tough right now.
ECU’s Future Teachers Fund will provide a $5,000 Scholarship per student to those most in need of financial assistance during their final year professional experience placement. Watch Hannah's story.
Jack’s story
From school leavers to career switchers like Jack, we need to support our future teachers! Help us prevent finance and the cost of living from being a barrier to becoming a teacher. Watch Jack's story.
Make a difference today
If you’d like to make a donation to ECU’s Future Teachers Fund now and into the future, I encourage you to sign up to ECU’s Staff Giving Program. You can choose to make a one-off or regular donation out of your pre-tax salary. For example, if 20 staff give $10 a fortnight we can fund one scholarship of $5,000 per year! Every donation will make a HUGE difference to our most vulnerable students of Education at ECU.
