Caitlin Ping

Raymond Terrace, NSW

Bachelor of Education (Secondary)

Being a teacher is a special gift according to Cailtin. She plans to use her Bachelor of Education (Secondary) to create learning environments where students feel as supported and valued as she did at school – able to learn confidently and reach their full potential. As a keen public speaker, and school captain at Irrawang High School, she had many opportunities to use her voice to advocate for change. From how the media influences stereotypes of Indigenous Australians to highlighting all forms of inequality, she has started many conversations that have contributed to positive social change. Caitlin looks forward to connecting with like-minded people who want to join her in standing up for what they believe in as part of the Ma & Morley program.
