Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.

What non-teaching duties are expected?
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.
