Completing your Teacher Personal Statement
The Teacher Personal Statement is a written response provided as part of your QTAC or UAC degree application. The task shouldn’t be a daunting one – in fact, it’s a great opportunity for you to think deeply about why you want to become a teacher and discover a little bit about yourself along the way.
We understand though, that you might be nervous about how to write your statement in a way that benefits your application. That’s why we’ve created resources to help you along your way.

Why this is part of your application
An integral part of your initial teaching degree application, the Teacher Personal Statement is a written response provided at part of your application. This is completed as part of your application to QTAC or UAC.
This allows us to assess your suitability for teaching against the non-academic capabilities common in successful teachers, as those attributes and motivations are common to effective teachers.
