The BEd Secondary is a four year honours degree programme
leading to full recognition to teach by the Department of Education.
At St Mary’s we believe that our vocation is to prepare and provide
excellent teachers who can lead and inspire children in a life
of learning and who will pass on the beliefs, values, knowledge
and skills necessary for leading a full life in society. Teaching
is not just a job, it is a vocation. Teachers must believe in
their vocation and in the importance of their work for the future
of the individual child and the well–being of society as
a whole. In our teacher education courses we aim to provide teachers
who have:
- a liking and caring for children and a sensitivity towards their needs;
- an enthusiasm about teaching and a commitment to the education process;
- a belief in the promotion of equal opportunities, recognising differences occasioned by race, religion, sex, class or disability and the need to adopt non-discriminatory practices in all these respects;
- a willingness to learn and an openness to change and innovation;
- a lively mind and a range of cultural and other interests.
