Thanks Sammy1, that's a real help.

Hello, I've been a deputy head at a large primary school for 3 years and am looking to move to NSW and teach part-time initially until my family are settled. I've heard lots about there being no primary teaching jobs out there - is this still the case? Ideally I'd prefer to be in a primary school but my degree covers me for 4-11. I phoned AITSL but was advised that primary teachers are not on the SOL and I would not be eligible to have my skills assessed for early childhood teacher instead. Does anyone have any advice on this? I'm planning on moving to Oz as a family member on my husband's visa as he is on the SOL so am able to do casual work if required. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
