Part 4: Performance Review

4.1 Performance Review

4.1.1 Employers will review the performance of principals in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of their positions.

4.1.2 The employer shall prepare an annual performance agreement with each principal that details:

(a) the objectives of the principal's position including the relevant professional standards for that year; and

(b) the process and criteria by which the principal’s performance is to be assessed for that year.

Note: the professional standards applying in this agreement may only be varied during the term of this agreement according to the process set out in the Terms of Settlement.

4.1.3 Every endeavour shall be made by the employer and the principal to arrive at a performance agreement that is acceptable to both of them.  Where this has not been able to be achieved the views of the employer shall prevail.  The principal may, however, in these circumstances attach such comments to the performance agreement as the employer considers appropriate.

4.1.4 The principal will co-operate with the employer during all stages of the performance review process and will provide the employer with such information as the employer may properly require to carry out any review of the principal's performance.
