About this opportunity
The Waverley College Teacher Education Scholarship offers students a unique opportunity to work at a leading Independent School within the Greater Sydney area.

The scholarship provides financial support valued at $12,000 per annum for one year and requires recipients to complete a structured teaching experience at Waverley College. Participants must spend one day per week at the school during Terms 1, 2, and 3, and undertake an unpaid internship during Term 4. Recipients will receive guidance from a mentor teacher and participate in academic, pastoral, and co-curricular activities.

Students must have a weighted average mark (WAM) of at least 75 across the past two years of study and hold a valid Working with Children Check.
