RUBY SIMPSON
Student: Foundation Certificate
Education
“The most enjoyable aspects of the
Foundation Certificate Education was the
support I was given and the relationships
I built. We became a family of students,
connecting and helping each other to
succeed. I also built strong relationships
with my lecturers as they constantly
made themselves available to support me
throughout the year. Looking back at what
we learnt within the Foundation Certificate
Education, I can clearly see they were
setting us up for success within our future
bachelors degree study.
“Deciding to become a teacher was the
easiest decision I have ever made. Having
the privilege of being a part of children’s
lives and helping to guide them through the
process of growing up and discovering the
world is, to me, a huge honour.
“Studying at the Faculty of Education
and Social Work feels like the natural
step towards achieving the future I wish
to have. I hope my qualification will help
me to become a primary school teacher,
teaching in junior classrooms, specialising
in the arts.”
Ruby Simpson completed a Foundation
Certificate Education and is now in
her second year of study towards a
Bachelor of Education (Teaching) Primary
specialisation.
