Undergraduate Programs

The Catholic Schools Office (CSO) recognises that learning is a lifelong process and therefore aims to attract quality teachers into the teaching profession. The need to provide spiritual formation, support and mentoring to students in preparation for a career in teaching in schools is identified as integral to our mission of Catholic Education. Via these programs, the CSO will both meet this need as well as provide paid work experience opportunities to select Catholic students looking to become teachers in the Diocese of Lismore.
