It looks like the start date is 19th August. To be certain phone the school and ask - they will know all the dates for the next couple of years.

Alternatively, you can undertake a bachelors degree in anything, and then study for a diploma of education, which is also 4 years. However, to get qualified you do need to undertake teaching rounds, which are usually one day a week for the duration of the semester to begin with, or a two-week lump sum I think, depending on the Uni, so you may have to reduce your hours at work to fit in with the timetable (I think its usually fridays?) If you need to work and study, perhaps doing an Arts degree (10-12 hours contact per week for 3 years) and then a dip. ed part time (1.5-2 years, usually about 10 hours a week also) may be a better option than a Bachelor of Education, [cont.] Answered by Salski - Tue Sep 30 07:24:12 2008 What college courses should I take if I want to be a primary school teacher?
