Teacher role access in Sydney

Sydney schools under NESA in NSW run a Term 1 January start, not a northern September year. Independent, Catholic, and government schools share a city labour market and a My School comparison habit that makes parent portals a competitive expectation.

Fees in independent schools are in AUD with GST on some non-tuition items. Do not treat GST as a slogan — itemise what the school actually charges. Local named facts include NESA, NSW, GST, Term 1 January. Instrument: role-scoped views of classes, not the whole ledger. AUD independent fees; GST on eligible non-tuition items must show on the receipt. Term 1 January start with four terms; pupil-free days belong on the holiday master.

Small schools still need this. One admin wearing three hats is a person with three roles, not “everyone can see everything.” Data-minimisation duties are local. Role scope is how you operationalise them. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
