For teaching couple Varani and Luse, moving from Dubai to Port Augusta, South Australia, marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter, both personally and professionally.
After years of teaching abroad, the pair decided it was time to move closer to home in New Zealand and Fiji. When they discovered Prospero Teaching online and through Seek.com, they found the support they needed to make that dream a reality.
From the beginning, Varani and Luse appreciated the professionalism and clear communication from the Prospero team.“We appreciated the professionalism and courtesy of the staff, especially when they referred us to other members. Laura made sure every question was covered, her continuous follow-up made the process seamless.”
Prospero guided the couple through every step of the relocation, from registration and placement to connecting them with the right contacts at the South Australian Department for Education. “A major for us was the location - we wanted to teach in the outback or thereabouts, and Prospero made it happen.”
Now settled into their new roles, Varani as a Science and Maths Teacher, and Luse as an English Teacher, the couple say their positions couldn’t be a better match.
They’ve found their work-life balance to be fantastic, with a supportive management team, friendly colleagues, and access to a wealth of teaching resources. “We’re teaching at the right levels, and our experience is recognised by the SA Education Department. The management and admin staff are always smiling, and the department members are so supportive.”
Outside the classroom, the couple are enjoying life in their new community.“We’re loving the sights and sounds of the outback, and travel time to work or the shops is less than five minutes! We’ve even found a local church for Sunday worship - how good is that?”
When asked what advice they’d give to others thinking about making the move, the couple share this: “Always expect the unexpected and keep an open mind. Check the terms of employment, as conditions can differ between states. And we highly recommend Prospero - they know how to make it happen.”
Whether you’re seeking adventure, a new lifestyle, or a fresh start in your teaching career, Prospero Teaching Australia can help you make the move.
