Staff production team

Below are the key dates for this year's event.

Although not all production team members will be required for every day, every role will be required during show week. 

There are specific requirements to ensure you are eligible to work on Schools Spectacular. 

If you have not worked with the NSW Department of Education before and do not have a DoE employee ID please head to the Staff onboarding page. If you have a DoE employee ID, you will need to complete the steps below.

1. Ensure your mandatory training is up to date

Please login to MyPL and ensure you have completed all of the mandatory training for teachers in schools. You will need to supply your certificates before employment. As a minimum, we require certificates for:

• Child Protection Awareness Induction Training (NR28972) - Valid for 10 years

2. Upload the required documents 

You will need to upload all the required documents to the Schools Spectacular engagement form. The documents and information required are:

• Your employee ID
• Employment details (full-time, part-time, casual, schools engaged with)
• Certificates for all the mandatory training on MyPL

3. Submit your Letter of Agreement

Once the above information is received you will be sent a Letter of Agreement from the Schools Spectacular team with details of your employment. You will be required to submit this via the Letter of Agreement submission form before you begin work.

The Arts Unit will cover the cost of casual release for current school staff.  Schools will need to claim for the days a casual was required by completing the Casual Relief Claim form, this will be sent to schools at the end of November and the funds will be journaled to the school before the end of the year.

This will be paid to your school for the school days you are at the Schools Spectacular. The Arts Unit does not cover accommodation or travel. Teachers will need to arrange their accommodation while they are participating in the Schools Spectacular and organise their own parking and transport to and from the performance venue.

The Arts Unit will provide payment on a half-day or full-day rate for work completed by industry professionals. Industry professionals will need to complete all department onboard processes and mandatory training in their own time to comply with the department's policies and guidelines.
