Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "P.J. Pancholia High School follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "Do I have to work weekends?", "a": "Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes.
