A dispute over whether teachers should receive time off in lieu for every hour they spend on school camps is bound for the industrial umpire as children urge school councils not to axe the rite of passage.
A dispute over whether teachers should receive time off in lieu for every hour they spend on school camps is bound for the industrial umpire.
But the department’s guidelines to schools, issued late last year, said staff on a school camp should receive time in lieu only if on duty or on call, not during “off-duty time”.“A teacher is never off-duty on a camp. You can’t turn off the duty required for the care and supervision of students in the sense that you can’t turn off children,” she said.
The Department of Education and Training said it would be inappropriate to comment while the matter is before the Fair Work Commission.Some schools have already begun cutting camps since the agreement was signed. Weiler said going on a school camp was a rite of passage for students. “We’ve really got to get this right because if we don’t, it might mean kids don’t go on camps any more, or only elite kids do because no one else can afford it.”
