Caroline was inspired to enter early childhood teaching by her year one teacher.

“She showed me the impact that you can have on young kids when you have a passion for education and also take care of your students as a whole,” Caroline says.

During the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood & Care: 0-8 Years) she studied a semester at the University of Portland, experiencing education in an American context.

“I have loved every minute of my degree. Notre Dame taught me more than just the academic side of education. It taught me how to make a difference, to adapt to students different needs and to help them believe in themselves.”

Caroline is graduating with a full time position already secured at Saint Denis Catholic Primary School where she will be teaching year one in 2019.

“I really feel like I have come full circle.”

“I trusted Notre Dame to give me the best education and I’m graduating with confidence knowing that I went to the best university for me and have completed a degree that’s really set me up.”
