Nicos7 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi Cleowag Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay its been mad busy with organising everything to go. Yes Swinton is near us, as for my four year old starting school, they have said he will start in February 2015, he is five in October. We have also been looking at Falcon High School, not sure if you looked at that one? They seem to be very helpful in replying to me and what is required for when we land. The school applications for jobs are proving to be hard, they say will interview over sees teachers, but i've nothing yet, they have set format to follow called SAO, you have to get this sport on to be short listed. Do you have a planned date for leaving? What is the SAO format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 SAO = Situation (Set the Schene) - Action that you took - Outcome of situation because of your action. This is the norm for positions within public sector in WA for any job. Basically they are looking to see if you have the initiative to deal with situations and problems and how you would do it. Not easy to start with but there is a great website with examples and a book that you can purchase online. http://writeawinningjobapplication.com.au/ Well worth the money. Lyoyd White is a well respected recruitment/HR authority in WA, especially within the public sector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends still in the public sector tell me that they all use his advice... Let us all know eh?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that Priz - perhaps contact them and say you will pay the airmail postage.... Lots of helpful stuff on the website though.

Derbygirl42 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hi be really interested to hear any info about schools - I'm headings I mandurah hopefully April ish next year. I have a 9 and a 6 year Old. Good luck, I've just realised you flew out today! Anita Hi all We are new to the forum, never used them before, so we are just after a little information about some primary schools please. We are flying on the 26th of November 2014, very exciting indeed, but at the same time very nervous about the move. We will probably be renting in Port Bouvard, I think this is sorted now, we are looking at the schools in the title (F,SHH,HH) for our 8 year old and 4 year old boys. also, I am a PE teacher (Currently Curriculum Leader of the Department) and will be seeking employment within the PE sector before we land if possible. So any advice and guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
