Taking on the challenge of casual relief teaching should be easier when you're backed up with the best services from ANZUK. Teaching in Melbourne as a casual relief teacher with ANZUK means being bound by our terms of engagement as well as our terms of business. As expected of all ANZUK teachers, you must be able to keep up with our professional standards and conduct yourself in the most appropriate manner, observing decorum and wearing on proper work clothes.
The Requirements
With your VIT registration card and proof of a recent Criminal Records Check on hand, you are just a few steps closer to experiencing casual relief teaching. There are just a few more things you need to keep in mind and observe when you're on your way to teaching in Melbourne.
We are pedantic when it comes to the dress code, so men and women casual teachers alike have to closely follow our dress code to the dot. Here are the big do's and don'ts when it comes to dressing for a casual relief teaching job:
- Men are to wear collared shirts or polo shirts and clean casual trousers. No beanies or hats inside the classroom, no runners and tracksuits unless you are teaching PE classes, no ripped jeans, and no thongs even when the weather is extremely warm!
- Women, on the other hand, should wear dress tops or collared shorts, or polo shirts with skirts or plain dresses. They should not wear beanies or hats, ripped jeans, ugg boots, moccassins, thongs or tracksuits unless they are holding PE classes.
- Under no circumstances, are you allowed to smoke while doing your job teaching in Melbourne or any school in Victoria for that matter.
- Never be under the influence of drugs or alcohol prior to or during a school placement. While still under your casual relief teaching contract, if you feel that you are still intoxicated after drinking out on a school night, you will need to contact the agency before 8:00 a.m. so they can find an appropriate substitute for you for that particular day.
