Glenroy College Long Term Plan

Long Term 

Planning Document

As per VGSA 2022 clause 12(5), please find the following information regarding the 2024  long-term planning and workforce plan for Glenroy Secondary College.

 

The VGSA 2022 seeks to ensure that employees have the opportunity to perform all of their duties within a reasonable timeframe and have fair and  reasonable conditions.  This long- term plan supports that objective.

 

Long-term planning means:

  • development of workforce plans;
  • the planning and organisation of the program of instruction in the school (including the timetable and allocation of allotments and classes, transition arrangements, and any changes to school programs, including avoiding grade splitting where possible);
  • organisation of teacher work consistent with clause 22, including time in lieu for activities as set out in clause 24;
  • organisational duties, including the allocation of time release and/or an allowance  for the duty as set out in clause 22(11);
  • organisation of education support class (ES) work, including time in lieu for any  work required outside the ordinary hours of work consistent with clause 24(9) and time to participate in the performance and development process;
  • organisation of teacher work in their first twelve months of teaching as set out in  clause 22 (6) (b);
  • the recognition of the work performed by an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander employee associated with a cultural responsibility as set out in clause 24(17);
  • the schedule of meetings occurring in addition to the seven hours attendance  requirement set out in clause 24(3)(a);
  • organisation of classes including class sizes. In determining class sizes, staff or the union at the school may provide the principal, as the Employer’s  representative, with alternatives and, following consultation, staff or the union at the school may request that the principal provide reasons in circumstances where the principal, as the Employer’s representative, determines class sizes in excess of the planning guidance set out in clause 25(3);
  • the structure of selection and other panels for the purpose of making  recommendations to the principal;
  • the process for access to external professional development opportunities.

Workforce plan means:

  • a document setting out the projected staffing needs of a school having regard to factors such as the education program of the school, predicted enrolment increase or decrease, predicted staff absences due to leave or other reasons and any predicted departures of existing staff and the consequent mix of ongoing and fixed term teaching and non-teaching staff and the number of fixed term employees eligible for translation to ongoing employment in accordance with clauses 21(2)(f) to (h).
