Teachers assist our children to learn, but there are many other behind-the-scenes workers who keep a Government school running aside from just the classroom teachers.

A school is a business that must run smoothly and assist the learning of its students and professionalism of its teachers.

In order to avoid complete chaos within a school environment, staff are required to:

• Keep the grounds clean
• Keep the Tuckshop/Canteen running
• Keep the library in order
• Assist the Headmaster with paperwork
• Plan and execute events
• Order in supplies
• Fulfill administrative tasks
• Market the school to prospective students and parents.

A support role within a Government school can be a fulfilling position which may afford the worker with generous leave allowances and provisions.
