Fish Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just guessing but they sound like the regions of a city rather than a state...so I would guess that they represent the regions of Perth itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Your question doesnt make sense. Perth is none of those things in relation to WA. What is the context of your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaL Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Perth is the central west if you follow the BOM definition........or, according to the Regional Development Commissions Act, which separates WA into 9 distinct regions.The regions as determined are:GascoyneGoldfields-EsperanceGreat SouthernKimberleyMid WestPeelPilbaraSouth WestWheatbeltBureau of Meteorology (BOM) separates WA into 14 different forecast areas and includes Perth in the Peel region here Are you perhaps thinking of when people refer to North or South of the river?Additionally ...........Perth can be broken down into five main areas:Inner Perth – including City, Inner North, Inner South, Inner South West, Inner East and Inner WestNorth Perth – including Northern Perth and Outer NorthSouth Perth – including Outer South, Outer South West and FrementleEast Perth – including Outer EastWest Perth – including Western Perth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikamarie Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi guys! I found the above info on this website:http://www.goodstart.org.au/work-at-goodstart/job-searchI am very interested in working at this Early Leaning centre. When I choose WA, they give the above mentioned regions to choose from. Please have a look at it.Thanks for your advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 From a quick look it looks like most in Perth except far outer south and outer north though I didn't check them all...on my iPad. Once you select a region and are presented with a list of jobs you can select an individual job and it tells you suburb it is in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikamarie Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thnks Fish, makes sense. Which of those regions are near/almost near Joondalup. My husband will start training at the Joondalup Police training college in February. If I can work close by, it would be good. We will also look at housing in a close by area. No idea where to start :-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaL Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 You will have to show you are enrolled in a Cert iii in early childcare and get a blue card to work in childcare.I did a google of chilcare centres Joondalup, which should narrow your area down http://www.careforkids.com.au/child-care/joondalup/6027 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a born & bred West Aussie and even I had to randomly check a few of the options out! Their classification system is definitely not clear, or related to the usual ways in which Perth and/or WA regions are defined.But yes, if you're going to be in Joondalup for three months, then you'd be interested in the central north job listings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikamarie Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys for your help! I found the Goodstart centre in that area. Also thanks for the website AndreaL, it is a goldmine! Appreciate it!Forgot to add, I graduated Monday, and I hold a Honours Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Development.

OubaasDik Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 You might also want to look further north - after all the train line goes up to Clarkson. Rentals are (I think) cheaper there than Joondalup - certainly cheaper than Currambine.Beware renting in parts of Clarkson.You'll be able to tell which parts, just by looking, though.

You should really look at Community Kindergartens too as they are linked to local schools and usually require staff with early childhood education qualifications http://bettereducation.com.au/Preschool/WaCommunityKindergarten.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you by any chance know where I can read up on the different types of teachers for example group leader, ECT, ECE etc. If not, no worries, I'll googleeducation careers in Aus.

AndreaL Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sorry, I don't, my knowledge is based on my niece having worked at an early learning centre and is now at Uni studying early childhood education.Basically for privately run centres all staff have to show they are enrolled in a Cert3 to work there, group or room leaders are usually in the process or have a diploma in early childhood education and are paid slightly more. Community kindergartens are attached to the education dept of their relevant state and so the teachers are employed through the education department and will have sutiable qualifications in early learning.I am not sure how you would go about having your skills assessed, but dependent on if you want to work full or part time, you might also want to look at being a teacher aide at a primary school and then perhaps teaching?
