How it works
How it works
Your practicum experience meets the requirements of your home institution and the Australian state-based accreditation bodies. The program is designed to ensure you maximise learning opportunities and gain valuable experience in a different culture, but also to make sure you have some fun!
The program includes:
• a compulsory pre-departure briefing prior to departure
• an orientation program that includes a Race around KL/Kuching City
• a day of cultural engagement and activities with Malaysian PST’s from a local teacher training institute
• ongoing feedback sessions during your program
• two professional development evenings delivered by accompanying academics
• optional weekend activities
• farewell and debrief
During the school week you are expected to engage in all aspects of your host school program including meetings, sports days and any extra-curricular activities.
Weekends are free, with many PSTs receiving invitations to join their mentors to meet their family or for festive occasions, including family weddings!
