I know, as well some people do tell me - that I think ahead VERY far indeed.

My current situation is being a year 11 student in the UK, attending a relatively big comprehensive secondary school about 20 mins from where I live here, travelling there and back by bus every day and currently struggling my way through my last ever bit of GCSE coursework and sitting my first real, final GCSE exams TWO MONTHS TODAY.

My parents are keen to emigrate at the moment, as am I, but will not make a decision until the beginning of 2009 when we have visited Brisbane and the surrounding area, Sydney and Adelaide/surrounding area from 17th December to 7th January.

By this time I will have started A Levels (September 2008).

Now this is the (somewhat important) and interesting part...

I love ICT.

For the past few years, all I have wanted to do is to teach ICT at secondary (high) school level as a career.

So I wondered if anyone could give me some info on what exactly you need to do in order to do this, all I really understand is you are required to have a university degree in the subject you wish to teach (like in the UK) and to have completed a teaching course either alongside it or a postgrad course in teaching.

But to teach ICT at high school level (in either South Australia or Queensland), what will I need?

Many thanks,
Luke.
