    Primary School Teacher

    High School Teacher

    Secondary teachers work with students aged from twelve through to eighteen as they progress through the second phase of their educational journey. To be a high school teacher one must complete a bachelor degree in education, tailored to suit the requirements of being a secondary teacher. Most high school teachers specialise in a few areas – for example Maths and Science, LOTE and English or Sport.

    Special Education Teacher

    Students with disability or impairment need to learn too – but it takes a different type of teaching. Special ed teachers nurture “special” students and adjust course content to suit their needs. Aside from theory in different areas, special education teachers also teach students key life skills that will help them in the future when they are no longer in a safe school environment. The job requires a lot of patience, care and planning and involves working collaboratively with parents, carers and health professionals.

    Vocational Education and Training (VET) Lecturer

    VET lecturers deliver industry-based education to students looking to work in a particular field, often in a trade such as construction, beauty or hospitality. VET teachers/lecturers must have extensive experience in the industry and will need to complete a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment to begin.
