Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "q": "What non-teaching duties are expected?", "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Miranda High School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it.

The offer letter you receive will state the exact terms, including probation, notice period and confirmation criteria." }, { "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.
