Teach For Australia

August 10, 2017 No Comments

Want to change the world with your Science degree?

Students aren’t getting involved in science. Only half of Year 12 students now study science, compared to nine out of 10 in the 1990s. You could change this.

Teach For Australia offers an award-winning two year Leadership Development Program, a Master of Teaching on scholarship, and full salary and benefits as you work as a teacher in a disadvantaged school. Every day you’ll get to share your love of science and empower the next generation of problem solvers.

TFA’s Leadership Development Program turns grad program on its head. You’ll get the responsibility, stakeholder manager and possibility to create change right from Day One. As TFA alum, you’ll have the skills and experience to set yourself apart when you re-enter the job market.

Applications close on the 20th of August.

To apply or to find out more about Australia’s Best Graduate Development Program and the only not-for-profit organisation in the 2016 Top 40 Graduate Employers in Australia, go to bit.ly/TFA2017.

Sleepy hygiene #MotivationMonday

May 8, 2017 No Comments

Restless nights, followed by tiring mornings and always feeling like you can never catch enough sleep?

Like how we have habits to keep our teeth clean and our studies done, we have habits that affect our sleep.

Sleep hygiene describes good sleep habits. Here are some advice to help you get a good night’s sleep from a student. Most of these are common sense but the hustle and bustle of the modern and uni life makes most of us neglect some of our common senses and self-care.

Science-y web comics

March 29, 2017 No Comments

Ah it’s week 5 of semester: assignments, quizzes, mid-semester tests looming on the horizon. On one hand, we can strap down and get cracking. On the other hand, we can totally spend a few hours browsing our favourite sciencey, nerdy, geeky web-comics to lighten our spirits.

Yeah, I like that second option.
