It’s that Time of Year Again to Travel out of Melbourne!

The chill is in the air and I bet for many of you Canadian teachers, all you can think about is Term 2 teaching holidays in Melbourne. Wondering where you should go?

1) Uluru – OISE student teachers and other Leading Out teachers just returned from a great 4 day camping trip to the Outback and they have said it was incredible!

2) Great Barrier Reef – don’t miss one of the 7 wonders of the world.

3) Tasmania – a secret haven not to be missed (although cold this time of year so may want to consider a summer visit!).

4) Fraser Island, Whitsundays – Warm, so many fun outdoor activities!

5) Vietnam – beautiful country, affordable and warm!

6) Thailand – relaxing, beautiful people, great shopping!

7) Japan – unbelievable country and although going through a hard time, really is worth a visit!

8) New Zealand – incredible and one of the islands can definitely be done in 2 weeks; fantastic skiing!

9) China – history, unique, worth a visit!

Melbourne, Australia

Hey, Teacher: What are you Doing with your Life?

Are you tired and overworked? Do you feel drained in January? Do you look forward one week off in March to return in March and feel exhausted? Has a 20-week term got you down? Here’s the answer: MOVE TO AUSTRALIA!

WARNING: this is not a sales pitch, this is pure enthusiasm. I used to teach in Ontario, and then I got out of there! No jobs? There’s lots of teaching jobs in Australia. Insufficient recovery time? It’s sufficient in Australia.
