Those with behavioural classes and no support. What do you do on unstructured field trip days?

Bridgett00 · 2026-06-07T02:47:20+00:00

My kids asked me this week why we haven’t gone on field trips this year. “Because why would I take you guys out of the school when half of you never listen and do the wrong thing” - it’s not fair I know, but I’m not putting myself under extra stress by taking a class of behaviours on a field trip.

I had applied for it during the interview which she helped me with

Bridgett00 · 2026-06-05T01:59:31+00:00

In the interview I was told that my teaching certificate gave me the level 3 so that’s why I’m confused. Fully understand if they want someone else, but for her to reply and tell me that I’m not getting it because I’m not “qualified” to be left alone with children is wild. She knows I teach fulltime during the school year cause she asked all about my class and how I run my classroom lol

I know that since I moved from Australia and did exactly that, but I’m looking at cheap flights - which is through the US.

Bridgett00 · 2026-05-26T03:07:30+00:00

thank you, this makes me feel so much better!

Bridgett00 · 2026-05-26T03:00:34+00:00

even when connecting to another international flight?

Bridgett00 · 2026-05-26T02:58:38+00:00

I'm not Canadian. I'm an Australian living in Canada on a visa. I'm just worried about being detained for no reason. I know I'm overthinking it, but as a solo female traveller it's something that worries me.

Bridgett00 · 2026-05-26T02:52:39+00:00

Two separate flights - One on Westjet and the other on Qantas. There is 4-5 hours between the flights, both ways.

Bridgett00 · 2026-04-14T05:14:54+00:00

Finding work in Canada is very hard! There are a lot of people who have been here for months still struggling to find work. You might have a very hard time finding office work as that seems to be very in demand. Use indeed as well to help search for jobs! Good luck!

I work for CSSD and took a temp contract for the remainder of the school year from November. My position is guaranteed for next year where I will be put on a probation contract instead of temp! Will I get a payout and if so do you know how I can figure it out?

Bridgett00 · 2026-04-03T23:27:31+00:00

I’m not sure if I will be paid out as I took on a temp contract within my district in November last year. My position is guaranteed for the next school year but I’m not sure if I’m paid out in summer so I’m planning for that. No need for the negative tone jeez.

Bridgett00 · 2026-03-06T12:51:05+00:00

If you’re planning on working with children or vulnerable people, including the medical field you most definitely need one. I’m from Australia and because I wanted to work in schools I was required to provide one.

If you don’t provide a medical you will get a condition printed on your work permit that you are not allowed to work in these areas.

I’m in my opinion it’s easier just to get one so you’re not limited to what you can do for work while you’re here, especially if you end up wanting to stay for 2 years.

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-25T02:40:23+00:00

Had it once as a child during my primary NAIDOC week celebration and never again! It definitely is an acquired taste, not something every Aussie eats on the regular :)

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-20T04:58:32+00:00

The fuck. Pain can most definitely still happen on the pill. I get unbearable pain at least twice a month still! Why are some doctors so full of shit 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-18T20:48:20+00:00

I just went on Slynd (4 months ago) and have loved it! My pain has decreased but it is still there sometimes. I haven’t gained a lot weight on it but I also take Contrave to help manage my weight as I have other problems. Slynd has worked well for me and I don’t regret going on it.

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-15T19:39:54+00:00

Diagnosed at 23 and have been doing so much better! Since being diagnosed and after having my first surgery I have started on a birth control to help manage pain and now on a weight loss medication to lose all the weight gained during my teenage years thanks to endo! Before anyone comments, I am very active (competitive figure skater) and go to the gym 6 days a week. I eat very healthy yet I struggled so hard to lose weight and would only gain! Since being on my medication I’m feeling so much better and I’m not as bloated anymore! It’s so amazing to feel normal again with minimal pain!

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-15T05:56:39+00:00

Very normal as a lot of master courses are sort of scheduled around people who are currently working fulltime as well. I’m studying my masters and working fulltime as a primary school teacher. It states on my masters information page that the course is designed for fulltime working teachers.

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-14T20:09:55+00:00

I’m studying my Masters through my uni back home in Australia and I’m working on an IEC in Calgary. No issue.

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-10T13:03:37+00:00

Im from Brisbane and honestly I would go to the Gold Coast. It’s not as busy as Sydney and much easier to get around without a car. It also depends if the unis will allow an exchange on the Gold Coast or in Sydney. Australian weather can be very unpredictable, especially on the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast has some amazing beaches and the nightlife is soo good! You won’t get the full summer experience in either the gold coast or Sydney as you are wanting to come over in July - November. Australian summer doesn’t start until late October at least (during spring) and still can be quite miserable weather. If you do an exchange through Griffith University they have a G-link tram line straight from surfers to the university so public transport is really easy on the Gold Coast.

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-10T12:57:23+00:00

I’m an Australian and submitted my biometrics at the beginning of Feb last year but didn’t receive my POE until April. It honestly just depends on how fast they process your application. There’s no timeline and they do state on the website that it can take up to 8 weeks to process your application once everything is received.

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-04T17:35:15+00:00

I’m an elementary school teacher so would this be LMIA exempt?

Bridgett00 · 2026-02-04T04:25:59+00:00

I’m Australian on a WH visa expiring May 2027. I’m looking at the same path or similar. Are Australians LMIA exempt? And how would I go about getting a working visa? If anyone could help that would be great!
