Jackson School Staff Handbook

I

Industrial Action

All staff members have the right to make decisions regarding industrial action. Adequate notice of any industrial action must be provided to the Principal to enable parents/carers to be notified and the Duty of Care to be fulfilled. Union meetings may be held outside of teaching hours. Ane O'Day is the Sub- Branch President.

Interruptions to instruction

All members of staff must seek to preserve instruction time as much as possible. Therefore, interruptions that include sending students to the office and announcements over the PA system must be kept to a minimum.

 

Interpreting and translation services

 

Schools must offer interpreting and translation services to parents and carers who have limited or no English language skills to communicate key information about their child’s education.

Schools must use the department’s provider, the Victorian Interpreting and Translating Service LanguageLoop, to access funded interpreting and translation services.
