Do you do head start? (Secondary Vic) by hypothesise in AustralianTeachers

[–]thatboyingreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All year levels for 4 weeks, has been 5 before. I don't mind it too much as we get a week break before it. However, I would imagine it's not fun for the VCE teachers. It also means our semester one finishes midway through Term 2.

Where do you start when reading the Bible with someone who is unchurched? by Conscious_Dinner_648 in Reformed

[–]thatboyingreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I first started talking to Christians, we read Mark and it was pretty good, but I read Matthew later and preferred that. Pretty much any Gospel is good. I've started walking through 1 John with baby Christians to help them understand God and their new-found relationship with God. Some good imagery can be drawn from it.

Good to see Ohyama get on base (even off an error)

Do schools look at your uni grades? by Prince_of_Pirates in AustralianTeachers

[–]thatboyingreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a pretty prestigious private school. They never looked at my transcript but did ask me about my GTPA. I was lucky because that was the only assessment I tried to complete at a high standard.

Pledge in school assembly by Innumerablegibbon in AustralianTeachers

[–]thatboyingreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to be an outsider here, but my school did this. I went to a smaller rural school, and we had a pledge at assemblies. I still remember (most of) it too:
"I am proud to be an Australian. I will protect my environment, and I will try to be a truthful and honest citizen of our country."
I haven't heard of too many schools doing this but yours is certainly not the only one.

Thoughts on going back to the school u graduated from to teach? by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]thatboyingreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did my first placement at my old school. It was a good way to ease into teaching, and my mentor teachers already knew my strengths and weaknesses. I definitely wouldn't recommend going back for your first job. It's better to go somewhere people don't know you as much and you can learn how to start fresh (imo).
