Boomers Abroad

Description

A top international school in the tropical paradise of Brunei on the island of Borneo is looking for a Reception teacher for a January 2012 start. Are you a dynamic, enthusiastic teacher who loves working with ridiculously well-behaved and motivated children? Would you like to work in a beautiful tropical island which is full of the kindest and most courteous people in the world? If you have answered yes to both these questions you need to apply for this position.

An excellent tax-free salary is on offer ranging from £1120 - £2193 depending on experience. Free housing is also provided, flights, medical insurance and free tuition for children. Cost of living is low in Brunei and you are therefore able to save a considerable sum of money.

Teachers in Brunei enjoy an excellent lifestyle as well as extensive travel and leisure opportunities around the region and further afield. Students are responsive, well motivated and eager: a joy to teach. All positions attract an excellent remuneration package

This school provides an international education ranging from Pre K to IBDP for both local and international students. There are over 30 nationalities represented in the school from a broad range of cultural backgrounds. The school pride themselves on the welcoming atmosphere that they engender. Students joining them from overseas and from the local community immediately feel the sense of warmth and ease of interaction within the school. Although their curriculum is derived from the English national system, they also follow the IB DP Curriculum.

The last remnants of an empire that once included all of Borneo and the southwest Philippines, Brunei is now one of the smallest countries on earth - two tiny slivers of land lodged in the northern coast of Sarawak. This tiny country is blessed with some of the largest oil fields in Southeast Asia and, perhaps not surprisingly, one of the wealthiest rulers on earth. Thanks to these underground riches, Brunei has been able to spare most of its above-ground resources, and the country boasts some of the most intact primary rainforest in all of Borneo. Chances are this little country will surprise you, for it is neither the mini Dubai nor the strict Muslim theocracy that most people expect. Instead, it is a rather relaxed and even charming little corner of Borneo with enough attractions to make it an interesting stop between Sabah and Sarawak. First there is the capital of Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB), with its soaring mosques and picturesque water villages. Then there is the aforementioned rainforest, which is best experienced in the fine Ulu Temburong National Park. Beyond these, there is a thrilling boat ride between the capital and Bangar, one of the highlights of Borneo.

This position will be filled very quickly, so please contact Teachanywhere asap to discuss it further.
