Principal classification budget
Budget for principal classification
The principal classification budget is set annually with the confirmed school resource allocation. It sets the remuneration range for each principal position. The Principal Classification Budget is calculated by adjusting the Student Resource Package to exclude Workcover Premium, Superannuation charge, School-specific cluster-type arrangements and Strategic Initiatives Funding.
