Cassandra Kovac dreamed of being a teacher since she was 10 years old, but
when she received her Year 12 results she felt as though her world had deflated
and didn’t know what her next step would be. Seven years on and now a full-
time primary teacher, Cassandra says it was Monash’s pathway program that
helped her get there.
“I looked into the different pathway programs that Monash offered and found
the Diploma of Tertiary Studies. It was the perfect fit for me. That first year
was really fantastic. The DoTs program helped me feel more supported and
understand the structure of the University, and just have a really great start.
I knew I was on the right track and when I finished, I transferred straight into
my second year of a Bachelor of Education with the same teachers and friends.
I was really confident and was on the same page as everyone else.
The experience made me a better student, and definitely a better teacher.”
