• PASTORAL LEADER

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

    The purpose of this Middle Leadership review template is to provide assistance to schools when conducting a performance review at the conclusion of the appointment period as provided for in Schedule 4.14 of the Catholic Employing Authorities single enterprise collective agreements.

    These templates are not intended to be used for managing underperformance processes.

    Further information relating to the responsibilities, attributes and duties for Pastoral Leaders in secondary schools, can be found at Table 6 of Schedule 4 of the Agreement.

    What if someone holds more than one (1) Middle Leader position?

    Separate appraisal templates (one for each Middle Leader area) will need to be completed for each position.  For example:  If a person holds a Curriculum Leader position and a Pastoral Leader position, the Curriculum Leader appraisal template and the Pastoral Leader appraisal template will both need to be completed.

    INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE TEMPLATE

    You are currently in the Pastoral Leader appraisal template. Please refer to the other link/s if the appraisee is either a Curriculum Leader or Program Leader, or holds more than one Middle Leader position.
