Overview
St. Peter Chanel Catholic College of Secondary Teacher Education prepares secondary teachers through Catholic, values-based education. Its mission emphasises professional teaching, holistic formation and service to communities across Papua New Guinea, including remote and underserved areas. The Bachelor of Education (Secondary Teaching) is a four-year, full-time degree comprising eight semesters. A compulsory foundation year is followed by major and minor study in Mathematics, Physics, Biology or Chemistry, alongside education, language and religious education courses. Later years include research projects and teaching practice, including a six-week final-semester placement. Students have access to on-campus boarding, pastoral support and a modest library offering study space, print and digital resources. Students must live on campus unless the Director of Student Services grants permission to live elsewhere.
