Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at St Michaels Academy?", "a": "Yes — the band shown is a starting point. Schools consider your last-drawn CTC, teaching experience, board expertise (CBSE) and any specialist skills. Come prepared with a specific number and a 1-line justification." }, { "q": "Where exactly is St Michaels Academy located?", "a": "The school is in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu. Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "Is school transport available for staff?", "a": "Staff transport varies.
