About Casual Teaching

Casual Teachers play an important role in supporting students when their teacher is unavailable, or a school requires additional staffing. Casual Teachers support a learning environment that stimulates learning, promotes excellence and accepts and acknowledges the needs of students to be both challenged and supported.

Once casual employees are approved to work nominate their schools of preference and availability through our simple-to-use Casual Relief System (CRS). Casual employees may be called upon, on an as-needed basis by Catholic Schools within the Archdiocese of Canberra Goulburn. Casual work can vary from between three hours to several weeks at a single school, college, or early learning centre.

Benefits of Casual Teaching

• Schedule work around your ongoing study and personal commitments.
• Experience a diverse range of school environments and classroom settings.
• Build your profile within a network of schools to advance your opportunity of securing ongoing employment.
• Nominate the schools, year levels and subjects you wish to teach (as aligned with your qualification).
