Filipino Teachers in Australia

Why, what's wrong with Darwin? Meron bang mga kababalaghang nangyari doon? Pero wow, napaka-convenient naman kung online accreditation lang sa kanila, sana ganun rin sa lahat ng states...

You're very lucky that it didn't take you long to find a job! Depende rin talaga yan sa qualifications and experiences, ano?

Sige, I'll do some research about the PYP qualifications. Thank you! 🙂

@sunflower hi,

No nothing really. It's just that perhaps it would better to work in a school whose profile is more parallel to that of the teacher; Sydney is more multiculturAL than Darwin.

Am sure you'll find work soon as well as your line is also in demand!

Just find more ways to reinforce it with other qualifications like PYP.

When you arrive here, other requirements like working with children check, first aid, and the like may be done next.

@kindred

I'll keep your advice in mind! Thank you again! 😃

m graduate po aq ng AB History...nag ojt po ako sa high school kaso sa elementary po aq ngtuturo ng 8 yrs na...tapos n rin po aq ng master in educ.ang tanong ko po pasok po b aq s category n high school teacher khit ang present work q nsa elem aq?

@be20 Hi, I believe you have to choose if you want to apply as a primary or secondary teacher. Then, that would determine what you're willing to sacrifice in terms of points. For instance, you decided to apply as secondary, then you're points must come from BSE qualification, and secondary teaching experience. In other words, you're nominated occupation must align with your qualification, teaching experience to get the points of at least 60. In terms of points for your Masters, they only credit doctoral degree.

Search mo sa immi website ang visa 189 doon mo mkkita ang detailed ways how to apply and do a self assessment kung pasok ang points mo.

Goodluck!!

@kindred maraming salamat po sa reply...mukang nde po aq aabot sa 60 points dahil po sa work experience...second option q po ay mgstudent visa...nagpa assess na po aq...master in educ po sa univ of sunshine coast ang nai offer sken...ano po sa tingin nyo ok po ba yun? malayo din po yun sa location ng relative q kaya po ang lahat ng gastusin ay mag isa kong sasagutin...Kung nde po kalabisan tanong q po uli kung kakayanin q ang gastusin at suportahan ang pag aaral ko na tatagal daw po ng 1.5years...cenxa n po ang haba hehehe....

@be20 hi ang balita ko sa ibang nga forums EH pag masters level unlimited work hours ka meaning pwede ka lumagpas ng 40 hrs. Kung Sunshine Coast ka at makakuha kang work as preschool assistant Malaki naman konte ang per hour nun. Search mo ibang threads sa mga amount na hinahanda ng student visa para Mas clear idea mo. But I think you'll need less money/ show money if you're by yourself and not with a family. San ba mismo relatives mo sa QLD? wala ba UNI mas malapit kanila?

@kindred mam mukang medyo alanganin po yun sa bahay na titirhan ko...hindi po talaga kami close nun relative ko na andyan na nakatira...ganon pa man ok lang po hehehe...naintindihan ko po sila...sa ngayon po nagseself review po aq pra sa ielts..baka po next month magleave ako sa work para mgreview ng isang buwan sa niner...nde naman po ako magaling sa english pero naniniwala po ako na nakukuha ang ilang bagay sa tyaga...kapag po nabigo aq sa visa 189, mgstudent visa po aq... Mam ang totoo po kahit ano pong job (basta marangal hehe) ok po sa akin...Pwede nyo po ba ako bigyan ng suggestion po sa mga university at saka san po ba mas ok ang tulad ko na magsisimula sa wala...meron po ba dyan na mababa lang ang bayad sa bahay, transpo, pgkain etc..? pero makakakuha po ng job...Salamat po mam sa pagsagot.

@be20 Hi sis,

Ah ok. Gusto mo Muna try ang 189 Bgo student. Great idea! At least masubukan mo at nde k mg wonder in the future sa mga what if. Surely, things will always be different when you try them rather than hearing second hand.

Regarding you question abt suggestions for uni and probable places for settling.

I think it's important to ask yourself first which State appeals to you more in terms of future job prospects. Will the state continue to pursue graduates of a particular skill whether for 190/457?

In terms of jobs- odd jobs may have to do while seeking for a more suitable one, or while still studying. Also, if you're alone you can rent a granny flat prang studio type. Based on experience in QLD and NSW nde nmn malayu ang rent fee-- almost the same range--120-150 /wk.

Kung Sydney nmN type mo mag UNI pwede ka sa mga bedspace set up sa city na mismo walking distance to most unis. Per person 150-200/wk. 4 in a room all inclusive of utilities pati wifi. Search k p sa ibang thread about this topic ull learn more.

Looks like you're willing to take the BIG MOVE Challenge!!

Go for it!!

@aiayosef hi! Worrying will impede your communication ability. Just relax and keep your eyes on the ball-- communicate and enjoy!

Sa speaking kasi importante ang fluency and less hesitation. I remember the examiner and I laughing at the 3rd stage of the speaking test coz I was just being me and honest and spontaneous. Nung writing part, habang gigil na gigil sumagot agad mga katabi ko pag abot ng booklet, I took a moment to understand the question and slowly wrote in outline prior to writing. It turns out I managed two tasks on time coz I had a plan beforehand while the others were panicking midway to erase or add.

Relax, be honest, and enjoy!

That's the key!

kindred

@be20 Good on you!! That's rgd spirit. Pero kelngan b mag leave if you can study at night? Online exercises abound and free! Anyway, it helps that you watch and listen to Questiion Hour Oz parliament youtube where you'll learn expressions including idioms you can use in writing and speaking. Listening is also developed. 3-in-1!

Well it depends on your learning style if taking a leave will be more beneficial to you!

However you decide, goodluck!!

@wynx mahirap po bang magturo sa australia?

@be20 hi sorry just got back from 1 week vacay in Manila. Anyway, if you read the AITSL and Immi guidelines, the points you'll be credited for would be the sum of bachelor, experience, age, and IELTS. If you just intend to take some units for early childhood, then it wouldn't be credited any points because only the completed degrees count. I'm just not sure if that's what you meant with your question. So in the end, you have to decide in which pathway would you get here higher points for credit

Hi.

I recently submitted my docs for assessment to aitsl (pre-primary) and im quite worried with the requirement of 45 days of supervised teaching. I had my 150 hours OJT for toddlers class and another 150 hours for 4's and 5's class. The aitsl requires the age group 3-8 for pre primary assessment, so, do you think my 150 hours for 4's and 5's class will suffice?

Is there an equivalent hours for the 45 days teaching?

Help please... Thank you so much.

Sai

Hi. Good evening. I'm new to this forum. I am a preschool teacher and I already have teaching experiences handling pupils from Toddlers to Gr. 4. May I just ask if it is possible if I can directly get myself qualified by ACECQA even if I'm still in the Philippines? And then just look for employer sponsored jobs through the different job websites online?

I am hoping you can answer my queries. Thank you.

@Sai

To be honest, I don't know any teacher who have gone this route. Anyway, ACECQA is very strict with their qualifications when it comes to Early Childhood Teaching. You'd have to check first if your degree and school are listed in ACECQA's approved qualifications. Search for it in this page: http://www.acecqa.gov.au/Qualifications.aspx

If it's not there, then you'll have to go through a different route -- through Visa 189 or 190 or student visa. Good luck!

Sai

@sunflower Oh that's too bad. I was already compiling my requirements pa naman. I also have a prospective center that offers sponsorships for their employees. Hehe. I already checked my school, unfortunately, it's not on the list. Well, student visa has always been my plan B. Might as well take that route. Thanks for your reply. Are you an ACECQA qualified educator po?
