The interview process
Members of the interviewing panel will be experienced teachers. The interviews are scheduled to last for approximately 30 minutes.
The interview panel will need to verify your identity prior to interview. You must bring photo identification to the interview, such as a valid drivers licence, passport or student ID card.
The professional experience reports are an important part of your application. Please bring to the interview certified copies of your professional experience reports.
You will also need to bring a completed supporting statement addressing the set criteria.
The supporting statement should be prepared from one of the following templates:
- Supporting
statement (Word 120kb)
- Supporting
statement (PDF 144kb)
Please note: if you use the PDF template you will be able to enter your details into the document and print it. You will not be able to save the document unless you have a full version of Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer. You may wish to prepare your answers in a Word document and then copy and paste them into the PDF template when you are ready to print it. Alternatively, you can download the word version which you will be able to save.
In your supporting statement you should describe your personal qualities, teaching expertise, knowledge of curriculum and teaching methods, leadership abilities and specialist skills as they relate to teaching.
Your statement must not exceed the space provided.
In addition, you need to complete the applicant details page and sign and date the statement before the interview.
Following the interview, the panel will consider your responses and your supporting documents and, based on these, will make a recommendation.
Applicants who are not recommended for employment at this time will be informed of this in writing by our Teacher Recruitment unit.
