Teaching in private and public schools in Australia - what's your experience


Teaching in private and public schools in Australia - what's your experience?
Hi - it's getting to that stage of my degree where I need to start applying for jobs. My area is secondary sciences (Biology, Chemistry and junior science) and am looking at applying for pretty much anywhere on the eastern side of Australia (not too fussed where, not too keen on going outback though). Am not sure whether I want to work in the public or private sector though - so if anybody has advice, I'm definitely interested. Thanks for your comments :-)

First, I can understand your concern about the outback, but I spent three years in the outback (Woomera, S.A.), and can tell you it doesn't have to be all bad. Having said that, the east coast would be better overall. Private sector will give you a chance to definitely make more money, but may be harder to break into. The rules are different, in that public will be state driven, funded (or not), and more students to deal with. Private sector tends to have smaller classrooms with either students who want to be there and the parents can afford it, or snotty kids who will "tell mummy and daddy on you". Either way, both can be rewarding, just make sure they know who is in charge from day one.
