The Remote Practicum Bursary Fund - supporting student teachers and Remote Field Experience.

QUT supports student teachers taking their Teaching Field Experience in rural and remote Queensland . Many students are reluctant to participate in this experience because of the financial burden incurred in travelling to places like Birdsville and Thursday Island. A small bursary of $250 can make all the difference to these students. Students like Krystyna Artimiew know the benefits of taking on that challenge.

"I took away so many lasting memories from my time as a student teacher at Birdsville State School. And it is the generosity of alumni like you who make this all possible. Alumni support for the Bursary Fund gives students like me a unique opportunity to experience many different teaching practices.

My remote field experience also gave me a greater understanding of the difficulties encountered in rural schools and helped me appreciate the need for dedicated teachers in these isolated communities. The remote prac program gives student teachers a real insight into the great need for, and positive benefits of, working as a teacher in the country".
