About 80 prospective Canadian students attended a recent information session for the 2009 intake of the Bachelor of Primary Education Studies at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Ontario. The session was addressed by the Head of School, Associate Professor Will Letts, course coordinator Ms Mary Marshall, Provost and Special Adviser CSU Ontario, Professor Bob Meyenn, and alumni who shared their experiences. Professor Toni Downes, Dean of the Faculty of Education, said the course is now in its fourth year, and is undoubtedly a cutting-edge, world-class teacher education program. “Staff in the program were hand-picked and are of the highest calibre. We have deliberately maintained a balance between Australian and Canadian staff, as well as academic and professional expertise,” she said. Applications for the Autumn (Fall) 2009 student intake, which starts in August, close on Friday 24 April 2009.
