Name: Charles

University: Nottingham University

Studying: BA in Philosophy and Theology

Heading to: Sydney, Australia

For how long: 6 Weeks

Starting in: August 2011

Programme: Teaching Internships

I applied for a teaching internship abroad because I thought i would be an exciting experience. I have always wanted to go to Australia and the chance to do this combined with the opportunity to gain valuable teaching experience is a prospect I thought was too good to refuse. I’m also sure I will get to meet loads of new people and get to see everything that Sydney has to offer.

Amy’s Primary School Teaching Internship

Name: Amy

University/ College(s): Leeds Trinity University College

Course: BSc Sport and Exercise with Psychology

Heading to: Sydney, Australia

For how long: 4 Weeks

Starting in: February 2010

This is the shortest internship that we have ever done, as we usually place interns into internships for 10 weeks or longer. Primary school teaching is the only subject area that we can place into shorter internships.

Amy will be starting at a very good primary school in Sydney on the 1st of February. This is the start of the first term in Australia. For more information on the Australian term dates please see the Teaching Internships page for more details.

We had planned a longer teaching internship for Amy but unfortunately university calls and she will need to be back for classes in February.

At the moment we are working through accommodation options in Sydney for Amy and her working holiday visa application. After this it is just booking her flight and insurance and then jumping on a plane to Sydney. From there Amy will be supported by our Sydney office for anything she needs.

I’m sure that Amy will be very busy when she is in Sydney but hopefully will have time to let us know how she is going with her placement in the New Year.
