Dear teachers and students, welcome to the Department of Education and Children's Services. I'm so happy you made it to our meeting.
There was not many workplaces better than this room full of intelligent, experienced, talkative and assertive teachers/professionals/office workers to help me with work experience, which is what I remembered from my first visit to DECS. I soon realised I had to quickly adapt and give an impression that I was knowledgeable and talkative as well. What I loved most about my co-workers here was that they were exceptionally generous (offering free food, seats and professional future career advice), this was a relationship I wanted to continue for as long as I could. They were so nice to me, from beginning to end!
I knew from the chemistry I had with my co-workers here that I was going to last a long time here.
So if you're a struggling parent or student, or know someone that is lost in the SA schooling/education system, give this department a call. They know everything about what it takes to succeed in education in South Australia (especially in the city and regional schools). read more
