Expanded through local and regional programs to attract and recruit high quality teachers and leaders into areas of the highest need. The identified areas of need in this expansion include the subject areas of mathematics, science (physics and chemistry) and design & technology (wood & metals) with country schools the main focus.
Teach SA is a key program recruiting new and up-skilling existing mathematics and science teachers. A total of 114 participants have been involved in the Teach SA program in 2012 which includes 33 new recruits and 81 existing teachers up-skilled.
The recruitment of design & technology teachers with a focus in the wood and metals areas has also been a high priority with the successful recruitment of a high quality graduate to Port Augusta Secondary School and an additional six scholarships available in late 2012 for pre service design & technology teachers.
