The 2011 Faculty of Education Prize Giving Ceremony was held on Tuesday June 14 at the University Club of Western Australia.  This ceremony provided the opportunity for students, their families, staff and interested education colleagues to celebrate the high caliber of our graduating students.

Jennifer Stephen, a 2010 graduate from the Master of Teaching (Primary) gave a very lively description of student teacher life at UWA and the joys of being an art specialist at Parkwood primary school.
