1
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,520
The people that come out rural often
 have similar mindsets

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,400
on expanding your horizons and wanting to
 find a challenge or something like that.

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,920
I like that I get to teach
 and I get to tell the next generation

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,000
all about the ocean
 and get to spend my weekends exploring it.

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,800
In terms of support, I got a lot.

6
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,160
It definitely was a lot 

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,200
more than I expected
 and it made the process so much easier.

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,160
I got location allowances
 depending on how far rural you go.

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,480
There's a lot of support. 

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,280
Going straight into subsidised teacher
 housing, gaining permanency straight away,

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,000
and also having Ed Queensland pay for my
 removal costs from Brisbane to Innisfail.

12
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,880
It's given me a chance
 to be a more well-rounded professional.

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,640
I've been working to develop assessments.

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,520
I've been given chances to teach senior
 classes very early on in my career.

15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,440
Coming remote, there's lots of benefits,
 whether it be from a professional stance.

16
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,280
You get opportunities to career progress

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,640
that you wouldn't
 get if you're working in a

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,480
you know, down south or in a big city.
