Recent graduates from Curtin University\u2019s School of Education have been recognised for their academic achievements and commitment to the field of teaching at the School\u2019s annual awards ceremony.<\/p>\n
This year 19 students from the undergraduate and postgraduate programs were recognised across a range of awards sponsored by industry partners and fellow educators.<\/p>\n
Dr Karen Murcia, Acting Head of School of Education at Curtin University, said the annual award ceremony showcases the outstanding achievements of recent passionate and dedicated graduates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe set high expectations for our Curtin School of Education students and these award winning graduates have risen to the call for educational excellence,\u201d Dr Murcia said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all very proud of our students and of what they have achieved. They are inspirational individuals who will ensure quality outcomes by working to make a difference in education.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs Danyela Payne, the recipient of this year\u2019s Broadley SPERA Award for Outstanding Regional Student, is one example of such inspirational individuals.<\/p>\n
Mrs Payne completed her entire Bachelor of Education degree online while living and working in Geraldton.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter experiencing a family tragedy in 2010, I stopped and reflected on my life and where my passions lay. I felt drawn to early childhood education and in 2011, I enrolled in the course,\u201d Mrs Payne said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to complete my degree online, part-time over seven years meant I had the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience working in the education industry alongside gaining the theoretical knowledge through Curtin\u2019s program.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also gave birth to, and raised, my two beautiful sons during my degree, and on my last day of university, I gained employment as a Pre-Primary teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event was held at Curtin University\u2019s Bentley campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
