It was then I decided to take the plunge and follow my passion for education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVolunteering at my children\u2019s school I saw the disparity in access to quality education. I also came to appreciate the learning that happens afterwards at home. Some children may not have a caregiver to assist them with reading or homework, which impacts their ability to learn basic skills in the foundation years. This has long-term consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am passionate about teaching children to read fluently and comprehend deeply, developing their writing skills and increasing their level of independence. If I can inspire a child to reach for their personal best, the moment they realise their own success is rewarding for me too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Pursuing her passion<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once she had decided to pursue teaching, Victoria still had to choose where to study.<\/p>\n<p>She started her Bachelor of Education (Primary) at Australian Catholic University (ACU) in 2021 and hasn\u2019t looked back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI originally chose another university but, while considering embarking on a\u00a0career change, I sought the advice of a well-regarded teacher at my children\u2019s school,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey recommended I change my preference to ACU because of its great reputation in education and the fact students start practical teaching placements a lot sooner than in many other teaching degrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI absolutely love studying at ACU. The university isn\u2019t as large as some others, which enables me to have better relationships with my lecturers and tutors. I can engage in meaningful conversation with them, knowing they know me by name and I\u2019m not a random student number.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tutorial classes are a great size, enabling quality learning time and collaboration among peers and the benefits of a small tutor-to-student ratio. And ACU invests heavily in resources and facilities to ensure students get a quality education and first-rate experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Soaking up experiences<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Victoria has jumped wholeheartedly into everything ACU university life has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Due to lockdowns across the country and the international travel ban, ACU had facilitated its\u00a0community engagement program with the Solomon Islands\u00a0virtually for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>A normally hands-on program teaching primary-aged students, it was converted into a virtual program delivered over Semester 2 through Zoom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis experience was fantastic,\u201d she said. \u201cAlthough the challenges of internet speed and technology were cumbersome at times, it didn\u2019t stand in the way of seeing the excitement of Year 6 children creating a picture-book story of their own, with the help of ACU pre-service teachers. The learnings about culture, interests and the individual student relationships were wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Seeking academic support<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Victoria has also taken advantage of the\u00a0Academic Skills Unit, a team of educational experts on each campus who support students transitioning to university and throughout their degree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Academic Skills team have been fantastic,\u201d she said. \u201cThey facilitated the workshops that have really enabled me to transition back to education. I had been employed in a corporate environment for many years so having access to support for writing, referencing, study and exam preparation has been enormously beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe academic and support staff have always been available and knowledgeable when I\u2019ve needed some guidance on a particular topic or clarity about anything. The support for students is amazing and valuable in so many ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it hasn\u2019t always been smooth sailing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSemester 2 was difficult,\u201d she said. \u201cThe days were long and tiresome, and the nights were exhausting. Trying to juggle my children\u2019s home-schooling timetables with that of my own was a mammoth task, but with organisation, determination, persistence, and resilience, we all made it to the other side successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And her advice for starting university later in life?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to put yourself out there and meet new people. The diversity of students from different backgrounds is amazing and everyone is there for the same reason &#8211; to get an education and have some fun along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;\"><b>Are you ready for an experience like Victoria&#8217;s?
