Through the department's International Teacher Exchange Program, you could swap teaching positions and personal accommodation with a similarly placed overseas teacher for one year, commencing in  January 2020.

Exchange selection is a competitive process. Applicants will be considered on their merit with preference being given to teachers who:

• have demonstrated exceptional practice, in particular if they have achieved Highly Accomplished or Lead Teacher accreditation;
• provide a strong recommendation from their principal / director around their professional and personal suitability for an exchange.
