What a truly terrific video on what it’s like and what you can expect as a secondary teacher in NSW and Australia. Such helpful information for students exploring this as a future career. Thanks for posting!
@@carlyhampton aha thank you for replying back to my comment. I’m finishing off my Bachelor of Arts end of next year & do I have to do a short prac before I graduate ? Or is that just going into school and observing the teachers? Just a bit confused.
I am sure you are a truly wonderful teacher Carly.You have passion and an amazing work ethic.Of course, you are a very nice person too.A perfect combination.
Hi Carly, thanks for your vid. Im in the UK (UK citizen), i have a bachelors degree but not in education. what is the best or most efficient to become a primary school teacher in AUS? many thanks
Hi Carly, thanks for sharing your experience! This is very helpful. I've a question to ask regarding registering as a teacher in Australia as a foreigner - Is IELTS still required if I completed a 2 year postgraduate degree in Australia but a 4 year undergraduate degree (from Monash University Malaysia) which is outside Australia? Just wondering since a Monash Malaysia certificate is equivalent to a Monash Australia certificate.
Hey Marcus, I'm honestly not sure? You would have to go through all the Visa applications, but after that, the process should be the same. I created an updated video on this topic which may explain things better. Check it out 😊🙏
The other problem is that teachers have a pigeon hole that must be checked daily, usually at sign in. Then hopefully you have a desktop PC or laptop. Some schools require teachers buy a personal laptop to use in class. I had to check department emails early and then close to the bell as some send around updates late. Also I had to check MS Teams as some sent around info on this platform. Ditto for Facebook groups for teacher networks. Then some were Yammer enthusiasts and sent round notices on this platform. Fortunately our system did not use Zoom as this would need another platform. When I left, some were using LinkedIn. Then you had your faculty software like Sketchup and a few CAD systems, plus C++ and Python. You also had reporting software and welfare software (Hopefully the standard system, but other schools used different software). Had to learn them all. This was a lot of work.
Hey lovey. I am interested in becoming a science teacher. Can I do a 3 year Bachelor of biomedicine and do my masters of education. Also I have heard that some times you don't need to do your mastsrs in teaching and can just do a bachelor of science or education
I've done a degree in Veterinary Technology and just got an offer for a Masters of Teaching at QUT. You definitely need either a Bach or Masters. QUT in QLD allows you to do a Bach for secondary as well
Hi Carly! I’m a student in year 10 in Perth and I am thinking about becoming a HASS teacher Because I really enjoy the subject And the HASS teachers at my school are amazing! I was wondering, Do I have to do ATAR English To teach a subject that is slightly English based?
Hey Carly, I am also thinking of working as a secondary school teacher in Aus. I have master's degree in horticulture + Bachelor's degree in education, so wanted to know if I can work in australian school or not? I was hoping to teach science. So, are my qualification valid enough or do I need to do something else? Sorry, for the queries as I can't find answers regarding my degree. 😅
Your bachelor in education should enable you to teach. However, you would actually need to submit your transcript to see what subjects you would be approved to teach. This would only matter if you were going for a permanent position. You can casual teach any subject 😊
Hi carly i used to teach science (year 2-year 8) in india...but things are different here in Australia so could you please guide me how primary teaching is like in Sydney? Like only a single teacher teaches all subjects? What i have to do next because i did my b.ed from india....please help
Hi Carly, My wife has done B.A , M.A and Ph.D in English literature. She has an experience of more than 7 years but mostly in university level and one year teaching experience in secondary school. Kindly suggest if she is eligible for teaching in Australian secondary schools or any college or university level jobs. I would be very thankful if you can share some information related to this. Thanks
Hey there! I'm not sure about University. But for primary or secondary school, you would need a Masters and then go through the application and accreditation process 😊
Hi Carly, I'm studying Secondary Education (History and PE) and can't thank you enough for your educational based videos. I have a question if that's okay. My dream has always been to become a S.O.S.E teacher (HSIE now), would that require me to major in both History and Geography in order to be considered for that position? With my current majors (History in particular), am I limited to just Modern History/Ancient History? And, is there a way to study an additional Secondary Education major post Diploma? Apologies for all the queries. Again, I can't thank you enough, I've learnt so much from your videos. Best regards, Joel.
Hey Joel! I know a heap of HSIE teachers who only have a major in history. However, to gain permanent employment, having as many HSIE codes as possible is great. In my school, all HSIE teachers teach both history and geography regardless of their qualifications. Hope that helps 🙏 🙂
@@carlyhampton would that require more study after graduating as a primary teacher to teach secondary in that case? The reason I was asking is to know the scope of a primary teacher vs secondary teacher (commerce i.e. accounts, economics). I see secondary (maths and science) is in demand. How is the demand for commerce teachers?
@@andream6815 from what I know, you wouldn't need further study up to Year 10. Not sure that there would be a big demand for Commerce teachers. Especially since that would be taught by HSIE teachers and they are in good supply! Plus, Commerce is an elective, not a mandatory subject. Some schools may not even offer it.
Hey Vicky, I can't imagine it would matter. It's all about how you go in the classroom, your references and your ability to be involved in and lead projects. Your university degree sadly prepares you very little for the reality of teaching.
@@carlyhampton i understand you but i want to gain something your experiences your style and view. definetely you are an amazing teacher and you do best in your career.coul you review your decision one more for you subscribers that need you english knowledge you australia native accent
Omg I've been looking for this for so many days, I've got so many questions 1st. What are the public universities in Australia that provide Masters in education at affordable price. 2nd. How much score do i need in BA.
All Universities are private. And I honestly couldn't tell you about prices these days. When I did it it was about $800 per subject. Each Uni has a different score that they will let in.
Hi Carly mam I am an Indian English teacher for secondary education class how about the job opportunities in Australia for an Indian teacher to teach English language and literature at school ?
I wouldn't know exactly what you would have to do to transfer your qualifications. But we are certainly desperate fir teachers at the moment, so it would be pretty easy to get work.
@@MiraculousNithila you need to get 8,8,7,7 IELTS score. Considering you are English teacher, shouldn't be a problem. But listening test can offer accent issues. There is difference in American, British, or Australian accents. In IELTS you can get any or mix of them.
Hi Carley,I am basically from India and just moved in Parramatta.I want to persue my career in teaching as I did in India.My educational qualification is master in mathematics and bachelor of education so plz guide me what should I do to get job as a mathematics teacher (secondary school).I'll wait for your reply

Hey Carly! I am a physics teacher from India. Can you tell me about the life that I can make for myself if I move to Australia? Also tell the number of hours you work a day/ week Also tell whether you can do your phd while doing this job? (To teach majors.) Any support/ scholarships you can expect?
Life in Australia is great. It's pretty normal to work from 8-3.30 as a teacher. You may need to do a bit of extra time in the arvo or weekend if marking or doing reports. I wouldn't be able to provide any advice on scholarships or doing a Phd while teaching because I don't have any experience with either of those sorry!
I recently looked into studying teaching after doing a placement involving volunteering to mentor children in my bachelors of IT course, it seems like something i really enjoy and have passion for. I have a question regarding the course, do i study the four year masters in teaching course then do accreditstion afterwards?
I thought Masters was only two years? But perhaps it's different at some Universities. And yes, accreditation comes afterwards. I'm going to do a more in depth video on this 📗😊
It was very helpful Please can you provide with any point of contact where i could take further guidance from you it will mean alot if that's possible for you to spare few minutes
Hi, I do think this video has a lot of good content, however in context your video is a good way to discourage people to begin studying to become a teacher. Good way to scare people off. Anyways just a thought.
The teaching world has changed a lot over the last ten years and continues to do so. I don't want to sugar-coat the struggle a lot of my friends and I have experienced in this industry. If you are a teacher and are valued, treated with respect and have positive mental health then more power to you 🙏😊 But from what I've seen and experienced, that is not the norm. Additionally, the workload just continues to grow and is pushing a lot I people out of the industry. I know it's not the sunshine and rainbows video you were hoping for, but certainly more an accurate representation 😔
What a truly terrific video on what it’s like and what you can expect as a secondary teacher in NSW and Australia. Such helpful information for students exploring this as a future career. Thanks for posting!
omg finally i found a highschool teacher !! i am studying to be a high school teacher for english, business studies and aboriginal studies !

True! In saying that, I don't really care about the money. Just wouldn't mind a bit of respect lol
