Secondary School Teachers are responsible for educating and guiding students through some of the most significant phases of their school lives. Working in private and public schools, they teach approved national curriculum subjects; such as Maths, Science, English, Art and Physical Education, to students in years 7 - 12.
In accordance with the national curriculum, Secondary School Teachers prepare engaging and informative daily lesson plans, set and conduct exams and assessments and provide progress reports on students. Typically specialising in one or two subjects, they utilise textbooks, creative projects and visual aids to impart their specific knowledge to the class.
A Secondary School Teacher maintains current knowledge of their key subjects as well as up-to-date information on emerging education methods and curriculum changes. They attend staff meetings and liaise with other teaching staff to plan and develop courses and extracurricular activities, such as excursions, sports and social events. Secondary School Teachers are also charged with monitoring their pupils’ behaviour and development, and meeting with parents regularly to discuss progress and performance.
