PART 3 – TEACHERS: SALARIES AND SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

 

 

29.    DEPUTY PRINCIPAL CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURE AND INCREMENTAL PROGRESSION

29.1     Structure

29.1.1     There are seven levels of deputy principal based on enrolment and the provisions of this clause. Categories A and B apply in secondary schools and Category B applies in primary schools. Allowances are payable to deputy principals in primary schools who are below Level E-4 on the Teachers’ incremental scale.

29.1.2     In a secondary school where there is a deputy principal appointed and there is only one such appointment it is made at the Category A rate of the appropriate Level.

29.2    Level

29.2.1    The Level of the deputy principal is determined according to the enrolment of the school, or the enrolment that it is expected to rise to, or fall to, during the period of the appointment of the deputy principal.

29.2.2     Where there has been no significant increase or decrease in enrolment over the preceding three years, and no likelihood of such in the next three years, the enrolment (as defined) prior to the first year of appointment shall establish the Level of the deputy principal.

29.2.3     Where it is known that a school's enrolment will increase significantly during the period of appointment, the deputy will be appointed to the Level it is anticipated the school's enrolment will reach during the period of appointment.

29.2.4     Where it is known that a school's enrolment will decrease significantly during the period of appointment, the deputy will be appointed to the Level it is anticipated the school's enrolment will fall to during the appointment period. The Employee shall be given written notice of this classification prior to appointment and at the Employee’s request the Employee’s nominated representative shall be consulted regarding the decreases of enrolments prior to the appointment taking place

29.2.5     In any year where a school's enrolment, as at the February census, is above or below the limit for the Level to which the deputy has been appointed, the Level to which the deputy has been appointed shall not change. Where that February enrolment exceeds the upper limit for the Level to which the deputy has been appointed, the next higher salary in the Level above shall apply for that year.

29.3     Sub-division - Previous Experience as a Deputy

29.3.1     Appointment of a deputy with experience as a deputy to a school at a higher Level than the previous school shall be at sub-division 1 of that Level or to that sub-division which equals the existing salary, whichever is the higher. Where the deputy has been at the existing salary for 12 months or more, the appointment will be to the sub-division at the next higher salary.
 
29.3.2     Appointment to a school at a lower Level shall be to that sub-division, within the lower Level, which equates with the existing salary, or where that does not exist, to that subdivision and salary which recognizes years of service as a deputy principal.

29.4.    Incremental progression

29.4.1     Where a deputy principal commences on subdivision 1 of the relevant Level there is automatic progression to subdivision 2 at the end of the first year of appointment.

29.4.2    A deputy principal shall be entitled to advance to the next salary sub-division within that Level, in accordance with the provisions of Appendix 2 of this Agreement, and subject to either a satisfactory Annual Written Report, based on the role description, or a satisfactory Annual Review Meeting.

29.5    Annual Review Meeting/Annual Written Report

29.5.1     The principal in conjunction with the deputy principal shall determine whether the Annual Written Report or the Annual Review Meeting is used.

29.5.2     The principal in conjunction with the deputy principal will determine the timing and format of the Annual Review Meeting or Annual Written Report.

29.5.3     The principal will determine whether the Annual Review Meeting or Annual Written Report is satisfactory.

29.5.4     Where incremental progression does not occur a Deputy Principal may invoke the Grievance procedures of this Agreement (Clause 10). The parties to this agreement agree that where there is a grievance about the refusal to advance a Deputy Principal to the next increment, the Australian Industrial Relations Commission or its successor will determine the matter.

29.6    Conclusion of Contract

29.6.1     Where the contract of a Deputy Principal in receipt of a salary is not renewed by the employer, he/she will revert to Level E-4 of the teachers’ salary scale.

29.6.2     Where the contract of a Deputy Principal in receipt of an allowance is not renewed by the employer, they shall no longer be entitled to the allowance
