Meet Hanin – Bachelor of Education (Primary)

Hanin Wehbe is a teaching student who is intent on changing young lives around the world for the better. "By giving us practical experience in classrooms (rather than solely observing) every year, RMIT has created strong links between the theory and practice of teaching. Additionally, because of the comfortable environment and social community, RMIT has nurtured my confidence far beyond the classroom."
Meet Marc – Bachelor of Education (Primary)

Meet Marc – Bachelor of Education (Primary)

Leaving one career to start an education degree at age 34, Marc Simpkins is proof that it's never too late to follow your passion. "On my first day at RMIT, I had this plan: don't get distracted, keep to myself, get good marks. I soon realised that the connections that you make with people, the relationships you build, both professionally and personally, are instrumental to your success in the course and your life that runs parallel to it."
