Teacher Professional Development and leave
Like professionals in other fields, all teachers are required to keep up to date with current thinking on best practices and new developments in areas such as curriculum and technology. From time to time, teachers are required to attend professional development opportunities to learn about changes to the curriculum, new methods of teaching & learning and other ways of integrating technology. These sessions sometimes occur during the day, after school or in the school holidays. Teachers also have entitlements such as long service leave, maternity leave, family leave, sick leave, bereavement leave, jury duty, etc. Consequently, there will be times when your child’s teacher is absent from the classroom. On these days, the teacher’s program and lesson day plans are taught. Teachers on a grade/stage work closely together, allowing the grade/stage partner to liaise with the casual teacher so that teaching and learning continues and routines are kept. At all time, student needs and school timetables are considered. We thank you for your support.
