Study Education In Australia

Shape and inspire the young minds of tomorrow. Learn from the younger generation, understand what motivates and frustrates them, with the opportunity to inspire how they learn and influence their lives.

In teaching, no one day is the same as another. Teachers must have a strong command over the room, engaging the attention of 30 students at a time. Whilst some days can be challenging and tiring, the positives of been able to help others and further refine your craft clearly outweigh this.

Teachers, especially Secondary teachers, enjoy teaching a subject they’re passionate about and sharing this expertise with others. Teachers can embrace life-long learning as the craft of teaching is never fully mastered. There is always more to learn in terms of new material, understanding and implementing different teaching techniques and learning more about students’ learning styles.

Teachers experience a strong sense of purpose, seeing students grow personally and professionally, as a result of their input. Teaching also provides the opportunity to learn about yourself more deeply as a person and educator, as you teach others.

Teachers can progress their career and enjoy a strong starting salary. Schools will give teachers the opportunity to take on extra responsibilities throughout the year. Extra responsibilities will give you the experience to progress your career, growing new skills and qualities as well as earning the respect and trust from teaching staff.

Teachers experience a good work life balance, with decent work hours and regular holidays, ensuring a quality of work and personal life. Teachers normally have approximately 2 to 3 months of holiday a year.

If you’re raising children, working in a teaching role can help complement your kids schedule etc.

To be a primary school teacher in Australia, you will study the Bachelor of Education (Primary) for three years. To be a Secondary school teacher, at least one of the years of study will be based on secondary based teaching.

If you’re hoping to secure permanent residency in Australia, it’s highly recommended to explore studying and working in a regional area given the recent announcement of new visas. Normally, there are more teaching opportunities in rural areas as well.

A good advice for finding employment is to introduce yourself to schools in person. Schools will sometime remember you when it comes time to needing a substitute teacher. It can be a way of opening a door and once proving that you’re a good teacher, it could lead to more regular work.

An average primary school teacher earns $60,835 a year, but it does normally vary based on experience and location.
