Default We've got a job!!

My husband got offered a job this morning in Geraldton starting in Feb 2009, it was totally out of the blue. We sent in a CV to Smart Teachers in October and had a phone call last Thursday to say they had a job for him, he had 2 telephone interviews on Monday and Tuesday with various people at the school and then today he got the magic phonecall!!
I have gone into panic stations as there is so much to do in 8 weeks including selling the house!! HELP!!

Congrats- Smart teachers are good aren't they, they got me a job before we came out aswell.

Hope you enjoy the move, and try not to panic

Hello,
we are in Geraldton.
Is it a teaching job then? What school, as we know people in the high school and hubby works in one of the Primary.

Geraldton is nice town, and right on the coast.

It's at Nagle Catholic College - hopefully is it as good as it seems!! Would you have any ideas on decent primary schools as we have a 7 Year old Son.

Nagle is very good, my son is in Year 11 (Year 12 in Feb).

Its very good school, with boarding. Yes as good as it seams, as my son is academic and doing very well. Kids come from town and all over this area.

You have hit lucky with this school, as some OZ state teachers often swap over to this school if they can. Kids are well behaved and huge waiting list for this school.

Write a couple of more posts, and I can pm you with more info on Geraldton etc.

Default Re: We've got a job!!

Are you looking for State or Private fee paying schools?

Geraldton Primary and Tarcoola are the best state primary with good results and behaviour.
Otherwise one of the Catholic fee paying schools would be ok, fees cheap.
Or Geraldton Grammer but fees for this one are pretty high.
