Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "What kind of professional development is offered?", "a": "Most schools run weekly/monthly in-house PD sessions on pedagogy and assessment. Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above.

The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." } ] }
