Management staffing

Management staffing comprises:

  • A roll-generated component; and
  • Base management staffing (for secondary, area and composite schools); or
  • Professional leadership staffing (all other schools).

Base management or professional leadership staffing is added to the roll-generated management staffing, and then rounded down to one decimal place.

Management staffing roll weightings

The calculation of management staffing uses a year-level weighted roll. The roll weightings used are:

Year level Weighted roll
Years 1-3 4.0
Years 4-8 3.5
Technology education (7-8) 0.5
Years 9-10 7.0
Year 11 9.0
Year 12 15.0
Year 13+ 16.0

Weighted roll calculation

Using the above weighting the school's weighted roll (WR) is calculated:

WR = Sum of (Roll weighting x Year level roll)

Management staffing calculation

Management staffing (MS) is then calculated using the formula:

MS = (0.0003 x WR) + (0.017 x square root of WR)

Base management and professional leadership staffing

Base management (secondary and composite schools)/professional leadership staffing (primary, intermediate, restricted composite and special schools) time allowance is allocated based on the total roll of the school according to the following table:

Total roll range Base management staffing
(secondary, area and composite)
Professional Leadership Staffing
(primary, intermediate, restricted composite and Special)
1-28 0.2
29-60 0.3
61-92 0.4
93-123 0.5
124-155 0.6
156-186 0.7
187-218 0.8
219-249 0.9
250+ 1.0
