Coordinators review them weekly or fortnightly." }, { "q": "What questions are asked in a Principal interview?", "a": "Six sample questions with model answers for this exact role — including a demo-lesson walkthrough, classroom-management scenario and subject-specific probe — are in the Principal interview guide: /interview-questions/principal." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this Principal role?", "a": "Refer to the salary range posted on this page.

Set up a job alert for similar roles so you don't miss the next match if this one doesn't move forward." }, { "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. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." } ] }
