EXTRA NOTES RELATING TO THIS JOB
We have a Grade 3 and a Grade 4 teacher taking parental leave and are seeking to cover each class from the start of Term 3 onwards. This year, we have six Grade 3 classes and four Grade 4 classes. Both teams have friendly and supportive team members, with knowledgeable and supportive Learning Specialists as team leaders.
There are 25 students in the Grade 3 class, and 28 students in the Grade 4 class.
We have strong supports in place for Graduate Teachers, including Career Start mentors (Learning Specialists), team leaders, Assistant Principals assigned to year levels, and VIT mentors for graduates ready to start the process of moving to full registration.
For the right candidate, the starting date can be flexible. The preferred time fraction is full-time; however, we may be able to accommodate the right teacher if there are reasons that part-time is sought.
If we are unable to find a suitable registered teacher, we are prepared to explore Permission To Teach (PTT) for an interested 4th-year pre-service teacher, noting that a different employment arrangement is required, such as paraprofessional class. In this instance, the starting salary step assigned would be the closest match to a new teacher salary without exceeding this.
