Every schoolday: (Monday till Friday)
Contacthours with students in Hillingdon (year one): 8.30 till 15.00
Hours for the teachers: 8.00 till about 16.00
You've got all the materials you need to give a good lesson. It is compare to the Netherlands or I think a big part of Europe. For example: a HD-board, computers, I-pads, booklets, desk, chair, paper(white and coloured), materials to write and paint, materials for mathematics and for spalding (English).
There are a lot of differences between Holland and Australia:
- The students have very high thinking skills
- The students all will learn a lot.
- The students weares uniformes. They have to wear it with proud.
- There are a lot of teachers for different lessons like:
- All the teachers are working for 5 days a week. So they can help you the whole week.
- Australia is very expensive. Food, drinks, everything. It is almost the double in compare with the Netherlands.
- It is the only Dalton School in Sydney
Every year have four terms. One term is about 9 till 11 weeks. The teachers prepares all the lessons before the term started. So when we were there, it was a term of 11 weeks. All the teachers have got the lessons prepared on paper for every day, for every lesson. As an intern, you don't have to think what you want to teach. You can make your own lesson with their own learning intention.
In the Ascham school are a lot of teachers for special lessons like: gymnastic, library skills, spalding, music and swimming.
I like to send a lot of photo's and videos, but I can't do that. They are very carefull with the privacy of the students.
