My missus is about to graduate, but theoretically, she can start work as a casual now.

She took a religious subject in uni which allows her to work at catholic schools, then she basically went around all the schools, handing out her CV. She has had some bites and it has only been a week.

Are you primary or 6-12 ?

Hey thanks for the replies guys - yea i'm a secondary teacher (7 - 12) - I teach history and drama (which is a pretty weird mix and has made it hard for me)

But I was thinking of that religion certificate - I'm Christian but apparently you have to be Catholic for it to make you qualified to teach religion in the Catholic system - i'll have to do some more looking into it to see if that's the case.

But yea i'm up for casual work (or more) anywhere in any system

Just go to a Catholic church a few times, get the minister to write you a reference and you're set.

We always have a shitload of casual teachers at our school, new and regulars. A couple have gotten work through doing casual or doing prac at the school.

Yea its just a bit discouraging because I haven't got many casual days this term - oh well hopefully it picks up next term when winter hits - any suggestions for schools that might be after casual teachers?

And Mike thats sounds like a good idea - hope thats enough proof for them and they don't want a certificate from my baptism or anything - I'll give them a call because I don't wanna go through the course for nothing

I am studying education and they say that casuals don't get a lot of work due to the amount of full timers they have now. Would you ever think about going full time?

[moses123]

Hey Princess - yea well full-time is what i'm ultimately after - just wouldn't mind some casual work to keep me going in the meantime
