A day in the life of an ACU teaching and arts student
Nicholas Fengaros is a fourth-year student studying a Bachelor of Education (Primary). He is a Golden Key recipient and part of the NETDS Program at ACU; a program which allows high-achieving pre-service teachers to help in disadvantaged schools.
Nicholas chose to study at ACU because of our reputation and “connection of friendship, community and care.”
Teaching has been Nicholas’s dream job since he was eight years old; seeing it as not just a job, but an opportunity. Educating, inspiring and providing students with opportunities for academic growth and personal transformation is something Nicholas is very passionate about and he aspires to make a difference in others’ lives through education. The greatest gift he can give to his students is “the love of endless learning; each student has the potential to bring something unique and exceptional to the world.”
According to Nicholas, education courses at ACU provide a “high level of knowledge and professional skills necessary to foster innovative pedagogy.” Due to our small class sizes and sense of community, students like Nicholas form positive professional relationships with tutors and lecturers as they inspire and mentor cohorts through their studies.
Nicholas has also undertaken many placements and community engagement practicums that have prepared him to enter the workforce. Nicholas believes that while no two placements are the same, every placement has shaped the teacher he will become. Mentoring his students and hearing them say “Good morning Mr Fengaros” has confirmed he is moving in the right direction.
