Teacher Relief

Relief Notes

To minimise class disruption, continue learning activities and support individual students’ needs, it is important we leave quality lesson plans for the relief teacher or internal relief teacher.

Some staff are doing an amazing job in supporting their colleagues who are taking their relief classes, we thank you for your diligence.

Can I please refer everyone back to the relief lesson template. This is attached and located in the school resources section in Compass. This should be used for all our relief notes, by being copy/pasted into the Teacher Notes section of the class page.

Upload to Compass

Please ensure relief notes are uploaded to Compass as early as possible in the morning, hopefully by 8am.

Staff often use DOTT times or recess to look ahead at the relief notes for a class they have later in the day to ensure they are prepared.

The addition of relief notes in the morning allows our colleagues to be better prepared before heading into the class. Class resources can also be uploaded to the class page in Compass if that helps the relief teacher.

Problems with Relief Notes

If there seems to be a problem with the relief notes or lesson resources, staff should discuss with the relevant Learning Area PC.

Allocated Relief

If you have been allocated an internal relief but have a valid reason for not being able to complete the relief lesson, please speak with your HOLA or one of the Deputies.
