COVID Casual Class Options

To meet the challenges of teacher shortages due to COVID-19, we’ve created an emergency support program during Term 1 as an option for principals looking for relief teachers to cover staff who are isolating due to illness.

We know that this is a challenging time, with modelling predicting up to 20% of the teaching staff may be affected. Knowing the effect that this will have on classes, we want to help schools get through this and still meet the learning needs of the students.

Science educators as a relief option

Have experienced educators run engaging workshops or shows that meet both the workforce shortage as well as the curriculum needs.

  • Award-winning science enrichment programs aligned with the curriculum.
  • Experienced STEM educators.
  • Full risk assessments & COVID Safe protocols
  • All materials supplied.
  • Low fuss & very easy to organise.
  • Wide range of award-winning programs since 2004.

Available in Sydney & Melbourne metropolitan areas.
If you are in a regional area, please contact us so that we can work with you to find a solution.

Costs

Given the teaching staff crisis and the immediate need for casual teachers, we’ve aligned our staff costs per day to be that of a casual teacher plus materials costs as a special program for Term 1, 2022 ($660 inc. GST per day). Our pricing for Term 2 will be released later should the need continue.

Below are the options we have to help!
