Where to teach in Noosa Region?
Looking to move to Noosa region but need recommendations of good school/area to search for work as primary teacher.

Re: Where to teach in Noosa Region?
1) Can we recommend a school for you to work in? or
2) Can we recommend a school for your children to go to?
I can't really comment about schools in the Noosa area, but:
If it's "1" - It's not as easy as 'picking a school' to work at in Queensland. Queensland Education operate a 'pool system'. You apply to them, and they 'place' you. In some areas, there people can be placed in 'hard to staff' schools initially. This seems to be the case nearer to brisbane, and usually applies to NQTs etc...
My experience of further north suggest that it is possible for a school to 'request' candidates from the pool if they know them though...
Jobs in Private of Catholic schools operate the same as the UK. They advertise and you apply.
I'd imagine an area like Noosa to have a lot of competition - so be prepared for a fight...
