Relief Processes

Planned leave
Please deliver Lesson Plans (see Lesson Plan Outline in the School Templates folder) and all resources the day before your absence to one of the following:

Directly to the Relief Co-ordinator,
In the Relief Co-ordinator pigeon-hole located in the staff room or
Relief Co-ordinator tray in the Admin Office

If the planned absence is long term ie multiple days, please provide clear instructions to the Relief Co-ordinator so relief staff can be directed on where to collect lessons and resources.

HOLA/PCs should also be provided with a copy of lessons and relevant resources in the event that lessons are misplaced or lost.

Unplanned absence
In the case of an unplanned absence, notifying the Relief Co-ordinator as soon as possible allows them to find quality relief teaching staff.

Advise the Relief Co-Ordinator via text of absence as soon as practicable, preferably no later than 6.30am on the day of absence.
Email Relief Lessons (see Lesson Plan Outline below) to the Relief Coordinator by no later than 7.45am.
Include your PC/HOLA in your email to the Relief Co-Ordinator.
Include any requests for photocopying, Laptops, iPad’s and other resources in your email. These will be managed by your HOLA/PC in your absence.

Lesson Plans outline
In your lesson plans, please ensure:

You include special notes about students with extreme behavioural issues or severe medical conditions
There are clear instructions for Relief staff to follow, such as where to locate any additional resources, equipment etc.
That work is sufficient to have students fully occupied for the entire lesson, with some reserve for early finishers
You check that accessibility to any links for websites, YouTube videos etc are correct and currently functioning
There is an outline of class rules and seating plans.
Separate lessons for each class lesson, preferably using the Relief Lesson Template provided in the School Templates folder.
You prepare work which does not require specific knowledge or expertise (unless prior arrangements have been made or you have been advised by the Relief Co-ordinator). You can expect active supervision.

Concerns about relief lessons, delivery etc can be directed to Kelly Anderson, Deputy Principal.
