(James Friel photo) Australian at school By James Friel LONDESBORO - What is it like to shut down your life in. Perth, Australia - tem- porarily 'put it on hold - and travel half the world to Ontario, Canada to teach children in a rural school. in Londesboro? According to Joanne Lally, she is "thrilled about it." Joanne saw an advertisement featuring the opportunity to teach in the United Kingdom, New Zealand or Canada in an education circular and "thought Canada sounded attractive." She applied to the state's education department and following their screening process, she was accepted to participate. Joanne went to high school in Perth and then spent threeyears at Claremont Teacher's College. She worked in an office for a couple of years and then, to gain teaching experience, went for a year to in a mining town about 1500 miles north of Perth. Joanne taught at the U.S. naval com- munications station and following the ac- quisition of teaching experience took a year WO travel through Japan, Europe and the U.S. While in Japan she volunteered to teach in a•school for six months and then continued her travels. The excitement and adventure of travell- ing in foreign lands ,was replaced with routine and security because she went "back to teaching in Metropolitan Perth after that" teaching for about a total of eight years. The Australian has been in Canada for about a month now and while there is still much for her to be looking forward to, she feels that the novelty has already worn off for the school children she teaches. "At first I sounded a bit funny but now I think I'ni just another'teacher, actually." She went to Toronto not long ago to par- ticipate in an orientation weekend with 'the other Australian teaching exchange pro- gram members and enjoyed the city although she didn't have much time to ex- plore. Because she is here for one year, com- mencing i January and ending at the end of the year, she is arranging plans for the sum- mer. Her brother and sister-in-law plan a visit and Joanne hopes to tour the east coast down to around New Jersey where she has friends. She also hopes to see the North' American west coast as well. Shortly after her journey to Huron Coun- ty, the area experienced its first major snowstorm of the season. Joanne was in- trigued by the ferocity of the blizzard, so dif- ferent from the Australian dinette. Only . •two weeks into her exchange program, she • was storm -stayed in London.
