How will being in an NP School affect my entitlements and working conditions?
Teachers working in an NP School will have access to all of the entitlements and working conditions contained in the Certified Agreement and Teachers’ Award, including standard hours of duty and access to leave. Teachers will also have the same capacity to request or appeal transfers as teachers in other schools. Similarly, Heads of Programs and School Leaders will continue to be eligible to apply for relocations and promotions on merit while working in an NP School. The Department has expressed a view that it prefers that leave taken by NP School principals should be minimised. However, the QTU has informed the Department that NP School principals must retain their leave entitlements and leave will be granted subject to departmental convenience as is current practice.
