Then how much more would you get? I heard at some subject coordinators at Riverview get 100 K+ if not 150 K+

Yes indeed. My Economics teacher said that private schools pay about... 7% above the public pay for the same position.

The pay depends on which school system you teach in.

In catholic schools, the wages are closely tied to the public school wages.

Independent schools, however, vary alot.

Some low fee independents pay less than the public award. I think they try to appear to the teachers sense of duty as christians. (AFAIKS, religion is what lower fee independant schools are all about.)

High fee independents pay 5-8% more, in general, and many of them offer extra money if you undertake the supervision of co-curricular activities.

- My advanced english teacher has had that many complaints by students he's not allowed to teach advanced next year
- My mate's electronics teacher burnt all the wires in his major project, due tomorrow.

You tend to find that a lot of comprehensive high schools in the sydney region (St Pius X and St Marys Cathedrel) get ranked within the 100-150's whereas schools in rural areas, well, usually start at about 150...


So are teachers in sydney areas, and particually at select and private schools of a better quality? (generally speaking) or is it just the students are more diligent?

arguements for:
- Sydney being a city might be more attractive for many teachers, and teaching good students in select schools would make these schools more attractive

arguements against:
- Pay and the transfer system is the same at every school, and with the exception of private schools you cant just dismiss staff because they are average teachers.

lol

so what did he do??

i go to a selective school ranked 27th, and the amount of disgustingly incompetent oxygen wasting douchebags that are employed in our school is unbelievable. in some faculties its the majority, but i would say that about 40% of all teachers at our school are of poor quality.

which is fairly sad for a school of our rank.

we have one english teacher who isnt allowed to teach year 11-12 now because of the student complaints and an investigation into her teaching haha. oh miss paabo, your career just never kicked off. possibly due to your lack of teaching qualification
