My experience at Alphacrucis was very dynamic as the assessments were enjoyable and the placements allowed me to build relationships within the school community.
Andrew Eisenhower
Master of Teaching
My journey with Alphacrucis University College has been a great learning curve that pushed me to go beyond my limits of self-centred thinking and teaching to inspirational leadership and role modelling in the classroom. I had the privilege of studying alongside world changing lecturers and leaders who were incredibly supportive. I have loved discovering that learning is a way of life and I am committed to instilling that within my students
Su Pheng Lim
Master of Teaching
The hub model at Alphacrucis was a great experience with practical experiences from day one, support from phenomenal mentors, and engaging study with peers. Interacting with young people and staff of all ages highlighted the relational aspect of teaching, which is both challenging and beautiful. It's a joy to nurture young people and grow with peers in the profession, continually learning and seeking professional development together for the glory of God.
