That's not a good thing mate. The managers are eager to quickly move competent workers from Casual to Part-time contracts since you'll get paid less. Factor in the IR legislation, you may find yourself offered a contract slightly stripped of it's usual part-time benefits too. I'm considering getting a part-time nightfill job at Woolies too, but you can bet on my life that I'll be resisting when the managers try to push me from Casual into Part-time. One reason why I'd work there nightfilling in the first place is due to the great rate Casuals get.

Uni is starting soon, and I can't work as much as I have now. With the exception of the new people (myself included), everyone in the nightfill are either part time or full time. Part time is more secure than casual too, with casual, my shift can drop down to 0 hour, but with part time, at least they have to give me some shifts. My managers didn't push me to part time, they asked if I want it, and I said yeah sure why not. Last year when I was a Christmas casual at shitty Kmart, my shift was dropped down to 0 after 6 weeks I worked there.

if you mean in schools - that's going to be hard or impossble to set up...

my mum's a teacher and i know that they only accept work experience stuff if it's through a school coz of duty of care and insurance and just plain annoyance of having to have another person around... i know public system is like that,,

private may be different since they seem to do what they want but you are still probably going to find it hard to get it... especially if you're after paid because that's just not going to happen..

you will find it hard as the teaching degree is designed to include a large amount of prac work in it so they don't really provide means to do stuff like you suggest it would seem
