Gaining teaching experience in an Australian school has capped off study for Canadian Charles Sturt University (CSU) student Ms Amanda Waugh. Ms Waugh will be one of almost 160 students to graduate with a Bachelor of Primary Education Studies (BPES)  from CSU in Ontario on Friday 15 June. Ms Waugh completed her final practical placement at the Bathurst West Primary School in News South Wales, Australia. “Australia is far more advanced with implementing technology into their classrooms so that has been extremely valuable,” she said. “It's been fascinating to learn about what techniques they have and what we may do differently. I've also felt I've been able to share some of Canada's culture with my Australian students.”  Now back home, Ms Waugh is looking forward to receiving her testamur.  “Charles Sturt University has prepared me for the classroom in so many ways that I feel ready to step into the teaching profession. It is great to be a part of a school that has connections in other parts of the world and offers such amazing opportunities.”
