• Meet parents to discuss progress, behaviour and support plans
• Plan weekly lessons against the CAPS annual teaching plan
• Use data projectors, smartboards or tablets where the school has them
• Attend staff meetings, subject meetings and district workshops
• Supervise break duty, sport or a cultural activity each term
• Keep learner profiles and a tidy teacher file for subject advisers

• Sound knowledge of CAPS and the assessment policy for your phase
• Good spoken and written command of the language of teaching
• Full SACE registration (provisional registration only for student or newly qualified teachers)
• Clear record on the National Register for Sex Offenders and a police clearance

• Paid SACE CPTD workshops
• Fee discount for your own children at independent schools
• Housing allowance for SGB and state-funded posts where it applies

• Bring a short sample lesson to the interview; many schools ask you to teach for 15 minutes.
• Mention the extra-murals you can run, as smaller schools often choose the teacher who can also coach.
