Teacher exchange between Canada and Australia

So...I am an Australian teacher and I have applied for a one year exchange through our education department...which is awesome...but....they haven't been able to find enough Canadians who want to spend a year in Australia..

Are you interested, know anyone who would be interested?? I have loads of information I could give you, so would love to hear from you!

Take the leap!
Cheers,

Emma

I agree, that is surprising. I have friends and relatives who have done Australian 1 year exchanges.

Can you personally message me with details such as elementary/secondary; tentative start/finish dates and I will pass the info along to my staff and the rest of my district, I'm a principal at a small secondary school on the west coast of Canada.

I know it has surprised me! I think it is just getting the word out there and a few things have to align. But please, pass the word on, it's an awesome opportunity!

Hmmm...not really sure what the "babytalk" message is all about?

I will definitely message you Eclectictraveller, thank you!

Emma, curious if you found a Cdn to exchange with? Im just beginning to browse and consider this idea. I am a teacher in Toronto who has taught abroad before.

Hi Joel,

No, I didn't get a match. I'm pretty gutted about it. I thought there would be a lot of Canadians wanting to spend a year in Australia!
I am really keen to go to Toronto. I am contemplating trying again for 2014. I think applications for us have to be in about December (which is the end of our school year)
What do you teach?

Is it a problem that the Canadian and Australian school years do not line up?

I, too, spent a year there and recall the school year starting around January or Feb?
