Taking on the challenge of casual relief teaching should be easier when you’re backed up with the best services from ANZUK. Teaching in Melbourne as a casual relief teacher with ANZUK means being bound by their terms of engagement as well as their terms of business. As expected from all ANZUK teachers, you must be able to keep up with their professional standards and conduct yourself in the most appropriate manner in terms of observing decorum and donning on proper work clothes. And although your contract states that you don’t necessarily need to work exclusively with ANZUK, other additional work requested from schools that the agency has introduced you to must be cleared with the management of ANZUK Education Services beforehand.

The Requirements

With your VIT registration card and proof of a recent Criminal Records Check on hand, you are just a few steps closer to experiencing casual relief teaching first class. There are just a few more things you need to keep in mind and observe when you’re on your way to teaching in Melbourne.

The agency is very strict when it comes to the dress code so men and women casual teachers alike have to closely follow the dress code to the dot. Here are the big do’s and don’ts when it comes to dressing up properly for the casual relief teaching job:

• Men are supposed to wear collared shirts or polo shirts and clean casual trousers. They are not supposed to wear any beanies or hats inside the classroom, no runners and tracksuits unless they are teaching PE classes, no ripped jeans, and no thongs even when the weather is extremely warm.

• Women, on the other hand, are supposed to wear dress tops or collared shorts or polo shirts with skirts or plain dresses. They should not be seen wearing any beanies or hats, ripped jeans, ugg boots or moccassins, thongs, and tracksuits unless they are holding PE classes.

• Under any circumstances, you are not allowed to smoke while doing your job teaching in Melbourne or any school in Victoria for that matter.

• You are not supposed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol prior to or during a school placement. While still under your casual relief teaching contract, if you feel that you are still intoxicated after drinking out on a school night, you will need to contact the agency before 8:00 a.m. so they can find an appropriate substitute for you for that particular day.
