Teaching in Outback Queensland

Submitted by J Cowan (09-11-2012)

« Back to Ask a Teaching Question

I live on a cattle property and teach my own children. I would like to source an experienced teacher to take on the teaching of my children next year. Where would be the best places to place advertisements and what networks could I tap into, in order to find this special person?

Governess Australia is a useful site.
I worked as a govie in 2006 and loved it.
All the best with your search.

Have you been in touch with the local school of Distance Education? There is one in Mt Isa, Charters, Charleville??? Vise Tutors can be of help to you as well. I was with Capricornia up until the end of last year; they have an office in Emerald. Just Google any of them and they will get you on track. Good luck

NZ has a correspondence school. Is there something similar where you are ?

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
