Did you know? Only 500 metres offshore from Rockingham are the Shoalwater Islands – a famous Marine Park. Rockingham also hosts a growing education sector with more than 40 schools operating in the local area such as Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School and Rockingham Senior High School – almost all schools in the Rockingham area employ dozens of teacher aides (commonly also known as ‘EAs’ or Education Assistants, which is a term ONLY used in WA). Other states use terms such as learning support officer (NSW), integration aide (Victoria) and school support officer (SA). Teacher aides in WA are known simply as EAs generally speaking (for example note the title of the following: Education Assistants General Agreement here which contains information about salary, hours and entitlements).
Students in all nationally recognised teacher aide courses need to complete the mandatory 100-hour placement in a local school in Rockingham or another area (Kwinana etc.) such as but not limited to primary schools, high schools, special needs schools and other speciality schools. You can find out about schools in the Rockingham area by searching this government database or the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia. Students can find work in government and non-government schools particularly once they hold a qualification with a reputable provider as this shows that they have well-developed pedagogical knowledge (knowledge of teaching and learning strategies, approaches, techniques and skills).
While FTTA offer teacher aide courses all over Australia (and have students and graduates in thousands of schools in every state and territory), FTTA’s story began in the Mandurah-Rockingham area with the first class being held in Halls Head, only 15 minutes’ drive away – in other words, we know the local industry inside and out!
