Why Teach in Western Australia?

Western Australia is a large and diverse state, with a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. Many of our teachers have taught in regional areas and reflect on their time as one of the most enjoyable and beneficial parts of their career. They tell us about the sense of community, the enhanced opportunities for career growth, and the children and young people they have worked with.

Cultural Awareness and Understanding

Cultural awareness and understanding is particularly important for teachers in regional areas. We provide guides to help staff incorporate culturally responsive practices and approaches when working with Aboriginal students, their families, and communities.

Student Characteristics

Students in rural communities are open, friendly, and active. These characteristics are reflected in the dynamic and vibrant classroom environments found in regional schools. Strong parent-teacher relationships and supportive school environments are a feature of these schools and complement proactive approaches to managing student behaviour.

Job Satisfaction

Teachers find joining local sporting clubs and participating in community events enhances their relationship with both students and parents. Teachers in regional schools report a high level of job satisfaction, enjoying the strong personal relationships they establish with students and parents and appreciative of the recognition they receive in the community.
