Values of the Educational Authority

Employees of the educational authority commit to upholding its core values: Responsiveness, Integrity, Impartiality, Accountability, Respect, Leadership, and Human Rights. These values complement the unique values of each institution and underpin the behaviors expected of public sector employees, including those working in government schools.

Employment Conditions

All staff members employed by the educational authority and schools have access to a wide range of employment conditions and working arrangements. Appointment of successful candidates will be contingent upon a satisfactory pre-employment conditions check. A probationary period may apply during the initial year of employment, with induction and support programs provided.
