There are many variables that are taken into account in the process of appointing students to schools for professional
experience. This is a highly complex process. We take your preferences into account when assigning school
placements. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be assigned a school place from your initial choices.
Information packages including details of school placement will be available from the Professional Experience Office
(Rm 2.394) once placements are completed. We cannot negotiate any changes once placement has been assigned. It is
your responsibility to adjust your work and travel arrangements to facilitate punctual attendance at your school
throughout this period.
