Our Centre

The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is a key contributor to Southern Cross University’s purpose: Changing lives through revolutionary learning and research with real impact. The mission of the CTL is to contribute to transformative and institutional change by partnering with all staff to advance teaching and learning within the Southern Cross Model and aligning this change with SCU’s strategic priorities.

The Centre works collaboratively and in partnership with critical areas of the University to provide guidance to achieve the University’s education and student experience priorities.

The Centre provides a range of professional learning opportunities for all staff to build capacity and drive continual improvement with an engaged workforce.
