Regional Opportunities

Teachers in regional and remote Catholic schools have many opportunities to grow, learn and lead as a key member of staff within the school and broader school and town community, and have a direct and significant influence on students in these areas.

There are many professional, personal and lifestyle benefits that come with teaching and living in regional South Australian communities including:

• Being welcomed into a community within and as part of a town community
• Enriched lifestyle and relationships within and beyond the school gates
• Family life – community orientation, everything close by and connected, rich relationships and a range of leisure and recreational options
• Schools and parishes are in diverse and beautiful places – along rivers, in wine regions, coastal towns, the Flinders Ranges and mining communities.

A range of incentives on offer for regional and remote schoolteachers, including early career teachers, include:

• Establishment grant
• Moving costs
• Additional non-contact time for Early Career Teachers
• Early Career and Teacher Certification Advisor support
• Remote school allowance (Roxby Downs)
• Support in obtaining a metropolitan position (or another regional location)
• High priority for Study Incentive Program (SIP) applicants.
