John Therry Rosemeadow Year 12 students' Immersion Experience at Our Lady Help of Christians Rosemeadow
Year 12 students from John Therry Catholic College, Rosemeadow who are considering a career in teaching were recently offered the opportunity for an Immersion Experience at Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Parish Primary School in Rosemeadow. Our Lady Help of Christians teachers graciously welcomed the John Therry students into their classrooms to gain valuable insights into teaching in a primary classroom. These students were distributed across various grade levels and exposed to a diverse range of learning experiences. The younger students genuinely enjoyed having the John Therry students in their classrooms and working with them. This brief opportunity was enough for some students to affirm that teaching is the right career path for them. Here are some testimonials from the students:
