Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Sacred Heart Convent School?", "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (state-board) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes. Most schools accept candidates with up to 60 days of notice.

Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Sacred Heart Convent School follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?", "a": "Typically 3–7 working days after the final interview, once reference checks and internal approvals are done.

Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none." } ] }
