Just give it a shot, they can only say No!!

Oops, I've binned it lol They asked I send off the three referee reports to people, including a catholic priest. I have three teaching references, you'd expect that they'd do but hey ho

Hi jen thought i would let you know that my wife recieved her teacher registration today. She rang them up to ask and was told there was another 40 applicants in front of her and that it would take another few months. There was only 20 applicants three weeks ago. She had a rant and asked to speak to the supervisor. He rang back 20 mins later and told her he had just done her registration and that she is now ready to go and certificate will be here next week. Ozzie Efficiency.

PLEASE KEEP THIS NEWS TO YOURSELF IF YOU'RE ON MY FACEBOOK,
I HAVEN'T TOLD SIMON YET AS HE'S ON EXERCISE TIL TONIGHT!!!


Well MY OH MY I have some positive news, yes, even more, not only do I have my Registration and TAC stuff all finalised, but it appears I MAY have a job too! Firstly tomorrow I am working in a school up the road, this was the first school I called into today, absolutely gobsmacked! Secondly I have been asked to take on a long term contract at another school, though it's not in the best area and well, might be a little bit rough to be honest. I start there on Friday and we'll see how it goes...:fingerscrossed:

Just realised that year 5 here in Oz are 10 and 11 year olds, flip I've not taught children that far up the Primary spectrum, this could get interesting lol :lol:
