Deputy principal: L3.4

A deputy principal employed at L3.4 currently receives $137,715 gross salary. In 2025, they would receive $154,896, which represents an increase of $17,181 gross salary or 12.48 per cent. 

Growing leaders in country schools is an initiative being offered through bargaining, and a deputy principal can be part of a trial that would provide them an opportunity to work in a regional school for three years with a guaranteed pathway to return to their substantive position in the metropolitan area. 

A mandatory performance management template will be developed, which will provide consistency with other teaching classifications and allow deputies to track their development and growth.
