Assistant Principals (AP's) have a teaching load but also lead stage teams of students and teachers. Due to the extra workload, AP's are entitled to additional RFF time (off class) as part of the QTSS program (Quality Teaching Successful Students) which is funded by the Department of Education. This QTSS time is used to improve the teaching quality of teachers within their team as well as administration tasks and additional professional learning.
The APC&I leader position is an off-class position.
