About Casual Teaching

Casual Teachers play an important role in supporting students when their teacher is unavailable, or a school requires additional staffing. Casual Teachers support a learning environment that stimulates learning, promotes excellence and accepts and acknowledges the needs of students to be both challenged and supported.

Once casual employees are approved to work, they nominate their schools of preference and availability through our simple-to-use Casual Relief System (CRS). Casual employees may be called upon, on an as-needed basis by Catholic Schools within the Archdiocese of Canberra Goulburn. Casual work can vary from between three hours to several weeks at a single school, college, or early learning centre.
