Middle School Years

Middle school years (Yrs 5 to 9) is a time when students undergo significant physical, emotional and mental changes. It is an exciting time to support them as they move through these important developmental years.

At the end of the degree you will have the training you need to work as a Middle school teacher in state, Catholic or private schools. Looking for an alternative path? Teaching-related skills of communication and educational management are also in demand in careers such as sport and leisure centre management, personal training, life coaching and human services.

Graduates of the Graduate Diploma of Learning and Teaching are eligible to apply to the Queensland College of Teachers for teacher registration.
