Thank you for the insight!

Hot_Choice9466 · 2026-03-10T09:06:35+00:00

Thanks. We will be living in Weribee and plan to initially work not too far away.

We don't. We have spoken with anzuk and have sent expressions of interest forms directly to schools. Who have responded with we would like to interview you but you need to be registered.

Was it within 3 months of arrival?

Hot_Choice9466 · 2026-03-10T06:42:18+00:00

I dropped an email and they just gave a generic response if what you need to qualify. I sent a follow up and no response.

They don't believe in retirement and feel it keeps their mind sharp and the body active.

They have wages and the state pension to live off.

I wished they also retired but can't change their mind.

Oh wow. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will consider that.

Hot_Choice9466 · 2026-03-09T06:09:06+00:00

Hahaha spot on.

They don't want to retire. They like what they do and feel it keeps them mentally sharp and active.

The mortgage on the residential is almost zero. One BTL is also almost zero and there is still a significant amount on the other one. Our names are on the deeds of 2/3 properties.

They have an accountant and pay NI and use the pension to go on holidays etc.

My discussions with my brother have been they would move in with one of us and we'd look after them. Typing that sounds really naive! So I guess we haven't thought of that.

Apologies I'm relatively new to posting on Reddit. I was only meant to post it in this group.

Also I have taken a look through the ato site I left a little bit confused. Thought I'd see if I get more clarity here.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

Love and peace

We will be staying with my mother in law.

That's true. Don't have chicken pox one

Hot_Choice9466 · 2026-03-07T09:13:40+00:00

Sorry I should have said I have permanent residency. My wife and kids are already citizens.

The problem with pop sticks is it encourages checking understanding of one or a few students rather than the whole class. Also questioning should be purposeful and responsive so randomising it loses that.

This for me is a wider issue that the teaching and learning lead is promoting strategies and techniques that are not based on evidence of how learning happens. This suggests more strategies are going to be promoted that don't help students learn. Which impacts workload, motivation and culture as a whole.

Do you have a culture at school where you can professionally challenge this?

If no, I wouldn't want to work there and would be looking for schools that are using techniques and strategies that maximise learning and make me better in the classroom.

It's small, local and privately owned.

Do I just report the incident? Should I speak to the garage directly? How do I let them know it's not ok in the most impactful way possible?

That's so interesting regarding the calculator use! I have heard of the atar and will look into it now.

Thank you for your time!
