BurgerPhone Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 I find it a bit confusing with the teacher situations. In high school I am presuming each teacher is dedicated to a specific subject, rather than all subjects. Luke has just lost his job yet a photography teacher took his place ? I am presuming he was the music teacher. Shouldn't they have been looking for the same subject teacher as to which he taught ?From what I can work out Summer Bay, as of February 1994, has a art teacher (Roxy), a photography teacher (James), and a head teacher (Fisher) who also teaches English ?
sindikatas Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 It seems that some of them are supposed to be super teachers. I can clearly remember Roxy also being cooking teacher and Biology teacher.

Yes this is true, a teacher specialises in a specific subject in Australia, and mostly they only teach that. But when there are shortages (it happens quite often) teachers are able to teach classes in different subjects. Its because when you become a teacher, you are qualified to teach any subject, but you specialise in a particular faculty.

Its because when you become a teacher, you are qualified to teach any subject, but you specialise in a particular faculty. This depends on what degree you do! In Australia, there's three courses that a teacher can do to become a teacher. The first is a Bachelor of Education K-12, which enables a teacher to teach any student in any year, any subject (however, I personally believe this doesn't offer the teacher enough depth to teach the later years {personal experience as a high school student}). The second is a Bachelor of Education (Secondary; 7-12). This enables a teacher to teach any student in any year at high school, however generally this teacher has specialised in a subject area, but can teach any subject to a degree (ie. if English trained, wouldn't teach Year 12 Extension Mathematics). The third way is to complete a Bachelor in Science, Mathematics, Business, Linguistics, etc. and then follow that up with a Diploma of Education, majoring and minoring in a subject or two (eg. major in Maths, minor in Science - a very common one {in Australia, most Maths teachers teach Science, and English teachers teach History}). Just a little bit of insight into the way one becomes a teacher in Australia - definitely not how it's done on Home and Away (Sally went to uni for, what, 6 months )

CaptainHulk Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Sal went to Uni for 3yrs, and her first run as Principal was merely a transitional caretaker role between Paris and Hyde.
CaptainHulk Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 One in the City, If I remember.Yabbie Creek's Uni was just a TAFE until 2004.
joany208121 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 I was making a vague statement about how fast they become principal. Gina, Sally, Bianca, Zac were at the school for an exremely short time in comparison to reality.
Red Ranger 1 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Posted July 11, 2015 You don't have to work your way up the ranks in a specific school, just have enough experience and seniority for the position.Gina was hired as principal, because she'd been principal at another school.I think Luke and James actually taught History? Certainly not Music or Photography(?).Roxy was hired as Home Economics teacher (ie Cookery).And yes, Don teaches English.
