Teachers can have a life-altering impact on students. It’s a profession where who you are matters just as much as what you do. As a teacher, you can bring about real, lasting change.

Qualified teachers are in strong demand in Victoria. Teachers have job security, great career paths, and flexible opportunities to work around the world. Even more, students need you and the perspective, worldview and creative energy you can bring. 

Eastern offers flexibility to make study work with your life circumstances, a vibrant Christian community, and inspiring lecturers who get to know you as a person. You’ll have the space to explore and develop your identity, character and calling, and the opportunity to integrate your faith with your teaching career.

Only the brave should teach, the men and women whose integrity cannot be shaken, whose minds are enlightened enough to understand the high calling of the teacher, whose hearts are unshakeably loyal to the young whatever the interests of those who are in power. – Pearl S. Buck.

What Students

are saying

I chose Eastern because I wanted to study teaching in a way that aligned with my Christian faith. I love being able to look at the principles of teaching through a faith lens. There is value in being trained as a teacher taught from a Christian worldview as it helps define the way we see students - as human beings created in the image of God with hope and a purpose – thus shaping the way we approach teaching. Studying from a Christian point of view has helped me come to the 'why' of teaching, not just the 'how' or 'what'.
Katie McCann
Katie McCann Graduate Bachelor of Education (Primary)
At Eastern they know their stuff and they have so much experience. It’s incredibly supportive. Every teacher is just working so hard to include you, to check in with you and help you with your work. There's opportunity to grow in your leadership, to contribute, and to constantly learn. Eastern has shaped my understanding of who I will be as a teacher in the classroom.
