Secondary teachers will be expected to work collaboratively with other subject teachers and support staff to facilitate the work of the school through, for example, collaborative planning, team teaching, and non-traditional groupings, as well as participating in whole-school projects. This may include the supervision of classroom support staff (Assistant Teacher and/or Special Support Assistant) as assigned by the Principal.
