Hi there, If you are coming to NSW you will need to register on the NSW Department of Education teachers site - there's an online application form - you can start the process for over in the UK. (If you can't find the site - let me know - i'll send it on). They'll want evidence of quals and a statement of service etc. They've passed a new teachers' act of 2004 - basically means that any teacher who has not been in the system in NSW for the past 5 years, needs to undergo an accreditation process (yep - more shifting of paperwork and an interview). I'm a Queensland teacher and undergoing that process at the moment - more a nuisance than difficult. May be worthwhile becoming familiar with the syllabuses - google the 'board of studies' for the relevant states. Good luck with it all

i think every school in the uk should have basically the same uniform?
i think every school in the uk should have basically the same uniform?
the last time i went out to buy a full new school uniform - 1 of everything- it cost £300. i think that's ridiculous. all the different schools in my area have really different uniforms and i think it would be good if every school had the same black trousers/skirt, fitted white shirt, black jumper and blazer, and then different ties and sew-on crests. it would be so much easier and all the shops could get into a little price battle.

Scholarship are not offered to non British students. Nor does the UK government give grants or assistants with boarding school fees To get into boarding schools in the UK you have to sit a common entrance exams.Fees vary widely from school to school. £5,559 per term for boarders. At 14 you would be studying for you GCSE = O Levels exams in the UK now. Katlin the whole point is if one can afford to send ones child to boarding school why should they ask for government assistants. They offer scholarship to those from deprived background to go to boarding school. But they two have to sit an entrance exams. Plus pass to get in. But this scholarship is for UK pupils only. For you to sit an entrance exam you would had to had fellow the British school curriculum.

if anyone in UK wears a school uniform, this means that everyone knows how to make tie knot?
if anyone in UK wears a school uniform, this means that everyone knows how to make tie knot?
I have got no idea how to tie a necktie, not even my neighbour, no one. so if kids and teenagers in England keep wearing school uniforms and a tie, they know how to make a tie knot? cause as kids we were always playing adults but no one ever knew how to make a tie knot, so we did some regular knot.

Good question! I suppose it's possible that they simply wear clip-on neckties (which require no tying whatsoever). However, tying a necktie really isn't any more difficult than tying shoelaces, which we learn at a very young age... it's just that, for those of us that grew up in non-uniformed schools, there was no reason for us to learn how to tie a necktie at that same age. I didn't learn how to tie a necktie until sometime in middle school, when we all had to wear nice outfits for a fancy school ceremony. I can remember all of us boys standing in the hallway behind the auditorium struggling in unison with our ties... But now that I know how, I really do enjoy wearing (and tying!) ties. Some people really don't--it's a matter of personal taste, of course--but if you're interested in learning, click on the link below. It does take a bit of trial and error to get right (especially figuring out exactly how much longer around your neck the wide end needs to be hanging than the narrow end; the very first step!), but you'll get the hang of it in no time. Good luck!

Bath is a lovely city, and has lots of culture and history. It's also affluent and therefore I would assume it has a boarding school. Also, Exeter is nice, big enough to be a modern city but surrounded by countryside.

Are these A Level choices good enough for medical school in the UK?
Are these A Level choices good enough for medical school in the UK?
Chemistry. Biology. English Language. Physcology. I know medical schools are extremley competitive. Even though some they say maths is not required should I take maths instead of physcology to improve my chances? My only worry is that I'm not good enough and I don't enjoy the subject but if it would greatly improve my chances getting into med school then I will endure it. Also I'm at a grammar school so would that mean there's an advantage?

Heyy yeahh i'm trying for medicine. I'm doing chemistry, maths, geography and biology. The best place to look for what universities want is on the ucas website, and you can look up specific courses and what they want. Your combination sounds fine, there are a couple of girls applying for medicine without maths, and i don't think its affecting their application. Oh and yeahh i think being at a grammar school will help you, some unis are slightly biased against private schools because they have "better teaching so its easier to get the grades" which quite frankly isnt always the case! Anyway good luck! ps If you can, i'd go on a thing called Medlink, its a 4 day medicine course in lower 6th which gives you a real taster of what med school will be like :) www.ucas.ac.uk = ucas website www.medlink-uk.com = medlink
