  • face-to-face teaching, including rostered classes and extras
  • the work directly related to the teaching and learning program of a teacher's class or classes (such as face-to-face teaching, planning, preparation, collaboration, and assessment)
  • other duties related to the operation and organisation of the school (such as meetings, student supervision, reporting, organisational duties, implementation of government education initiatives)
  • other factors including class size, curriculum mix, range of ability and age of students, demands and behaviours of those students, resources available and facilities
  • voluntary or discretionary effort, including school camps, concerts, excursions and after-school sport
