Once shortlisted, the school will agree a realistic date based on your notice period." }, { "q": "Is English fluency required?", "a": "Bilingual fluency (English + regional language) is typically expected at state-board schools, especially for lower grades. Senior-secondary subject roles lean more English-first." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Sd Public High School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this HOD Science role?", "a": "The salary band is shown in the \"Key facts\" panel above. Final offers depend on your years of experience, qualifications and the interview outcome." }, { "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?", "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats.

Some boards also ask for a written response or a sample lesson plan." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "Sd Public High School follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." } ] }
