teaching in OZ

[suzanne]

hi
tried to post a question yesterday but can't find it so trying again!
hubby & I are secondary school teachers. What's it like teaching there? I lived in Victoria for a couple of years when I was little. Always wanted to go back. Are we too old at 45 & 46? kids want to go- 17,15 & 13. any advice welcome.

hi
thank you for the PM. I have just read through. useful info. I think we may have left it all too late as on line assessments say we are too old!! Does anyone know a way around that one?

Hi

You could try the sponsorship route if your profession is in demand.

Good luck with it.

Can I be really cheeky and ask for any info on teaching in Oz. I am nearly ready to sent off final medical forms and am crossing my fingers that it won't be too long before I need to look for a teaching job in the north of Brisbane area.
Thanks

still researching!
does anyone know what exactly is being asked for in transcripts of degrees etc.
Can anyone give an indication as to what life is really like teaching in a secondary school in Oz. Hours, kids, facilities? average school sizes?I teach DT and have done some art & hubby teaches Maths.
Do they tend to have sixth forms or tertiary colleges?

it's grey outside and my feet itch!
