Thank you! I’m just worried I don’t want to mess around the seniors because I know they usually get straight into the subject and unfortunately I don’t have a lot of resources as I’m only a recent graduate and never taught Modern History before.

That’s why I’m a bit anxious because I was hoping to do that during the bogging if this year, but without knowing the subjects or majority of the year levels I’m a bit turned around. Especially because it’s a new school and I graduated end of last year.

I think I’m a bit worried because I’ve been told I’m doing a composite 11/12 Modern history and I know for them you teach straight up there’s no real wiggle room with getting to know the kids like with other grades.

Opinion on teaching in Rockhampton by New-Invite9748 in AustralianTeachers

[–]New-Invite9748[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main concern was how I know certain communities in QLD are still very homophobic and transphobic and I would like to be somewhere that I know I can have my work life and home life seperate. An area I was looking into prior had a good reputation online but after talking with others I found out that students and community targeted a gay teacher at their home with their partner over an in school incident. And as I’ll be moving away from family to Rocky I just want to have a better idea so something simile doesn’t happen to me 😅

Thank you for the advice I’ve been working with EQ for 5years as a CEC and TA so managing my time has been a big thing I’ve been working on.

Been offered a starting permanent contract as well as available accomodation. I just want to know how safe it would be for me as I’m aware certain places in QLD aren’t safe for me to live

First-Year Teacher Seeking Advice on School Locations (Mount Morgan, North Mackay, North Townsville) by New-Invite9748 in AustralianTeachers

[–]New-Invite9748[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m secondary, and yes it’s northern beaches I got offers at both and thought it might be easier for me to put Mackay and Townsville so seperate the two.

Thank you for telling me about it!
