At the first hurdle, we have fallen :-(
Steph's teaching qualification is not recognised in Oz due to the fact that she has done a BA with Initial Teacher Training and not a BA with a further year as a Post Graduate Certificate of Education. It is the PGCE that they recognise in Oz and therefore, she would have to do that first before being considered. That would entail her leaving her job and doing the PGCE full time for a year and joining people who had no teaching experience. Crazy considering she has been teaching for 6 years! Also, we can't afford to lose a salary for a year. To say we are disappointed would be an understatement. Still, we'll survive and we just have to come up with a good plan B instead.
So, our trip to Australia will have to remain a lovely holiday where we did lots of exploring, sightseeing and catching up with friends. We will be back one day for another visit cos we loved it so much.
Take care all and be happy :-)
