Graduating from a Bachelor of Arts/Master of Teaching (Secondary), Jessica Lundie is a passionate Head of Languages and Indonesian Language Teacher. Jessica originally transferred to Deakin from another school believing that Deakin would be more beneficial to her learning. ‘On the job training is so important and is part of the reason I transferred to secondary teaching at Deakin. Nothing can replace hands-on experience in the field that you are studying towards becoming a part of. For me, Deakin is different because of the vision and mission to be ‘Worldly’. I will always admire how Deakin endeavours to create globally conscious citizens through their approach to education.’
‘Indonesian language study and the engagement with Indonesia has become an integral part of my life, at the same time as being a growing part of my own identity. I thrive off sharing my experiences with others and value my responsibility as an Indonesian teacher highly. It is for this reason I chose Deakin University so that I could continue on with my Indonesian studies knowing that it would eventuate into me being able to teach it!’ Jessica says.
Jessica’s advice to any prospective Deakin student is to ‘take every opportunity that is presented to you – you can never be too prepared for the workforce!’
