Education Course Student Testimonials

Wendy de Jong

"This is a course with a difference! Lecturers totally support students as they study through distance education. You can meet with colleagues, share ideas and be inspired to serve God as teachers. By the end of the course you will be absolutely raring to teach!"

Rev Kevin Blanch

"Being an external student at Wesley has just been incredible - the understanding the college gives on Christian worldview in relation to other educational worldviews. I’ve absolutely loved the course. Coming from a church ministry position and going into teaching ministry, it has been tremendous in equipping me."

Marion Poynton

"Wesley is definitely a unique place. It aspires to transform lives and it certainly has changed mine. I can’t speak highly enough of it. I believe in its values and its vision and I would support anyone who wanted to go there. I’m grateful for the time I’ve had at Wesley."

Bachelor of Creative Arts (Dance), Graduate Diploma of Education

Katrina Carter

"My time at Wesley Institute has been pretty amazing and I feel like I’ve been equipped to serve God through the arts in a professional, educated and faith filled way. I made really strong friendships with other students at the college and some of those friendships have seen me through the last few years. Doing the education course the past year has also been quite different, studying by correspondence, but really satisfying and now I’m actually working full time as a teacher, teaching dance and also creative arts. Wesley has definitely set me up for my career and also with friendships and faith for life."

Lisa O’Connell

“I did a Graduate Diploma in Primary Education and I guess I loved having a Godly perspective and Christian input. I am really thankful to have been able to do that. That’s what I want to work in. My heart is in sharing Jesus with kids. I think it really helped and equipped me to do that.”

Rachel Devenish

“I did the Graduate Diploma in Education for Primary. Something that I enjoyed was the fact that I did the theory and the practical at the same time. So you really got to integrate your theory into practice straight away. And I just loved being in the classroom and the opportunity that Wesley gave to be in the classroom nearly straight away with the course. So really, for me it solidified my passion to teach.”

Emily Hammann

“What I enjoyed about Wesley was doing all the practical work and just learning heaps about teaching. I really enjoyed the relationships and even though I was doing it by distance education we’ve all been able to keep in contact.”

Denielle Walsh

“It’s an awesome place to be able to be stretched, to grow in your understanding of who you are, your particular area of study and to explore it within a biblical framework. It’s just an awesome place to be!”
