“I’ve always dreamed of becoming a high school teacher. From a very young age I always had really positive role models as teachers and I was inspired by them to do the same thing.
I'm really enjoying my time in the classroom with my students. It's wonderful to see how enthusiastic they are about learning.”
Professor Elizabeth Labone is an expert in education psychology and an internationally recognised scholar in the area of teacher efficacy.
Professor Labone has worked in teacher education for more than 25 years. Her recent projects include a large multi-state study of the engagement and retention of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, and a review of resilience in school leaders.
Books, fees, living expenses – costs can be a factor when considering study. But it shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your goals.
Luckily, we offer a range of scholarships to commencing and continuing students. They recognise everything from rewarding academic achievement to supporting equality. And with nearly 400 scholarships on offer, and the opportunity to apply for as many as you like, it pays to check your eligibility.
We believe great work that makes a positive impact should be recognised – and rewarded. So if you are regularly volunteering, we invite you to apply for our Community Achiever Program (CAP). If you are accepted into the program, you’ll receive an offer into an undergraduate degree as early as August. And you’ll become part of ACU’s CAP community.
