Recruiting and retaining top-tier teachers gives a school’s students and families high-quality teaching and learning experiences, enhancingthe school workplace. Al-Taqwa College in Truganina takes that very seriously.
“Al-Taqwa College encourages everyone in our staff team to look out fortalented new recruits to join us. That’s why we’ve launched a new staff referral programme called Golden Connect”, said a spokesman for the college.
Golden Connect offers generous incentives to Al-Taqwa staff referring new teachers who are appointed and pass their probationary periods. Referring staff will be rewarded with bonuses up to the maximum gross value of $5,000 payable when the referred new teacher completes probation and six months of permanent employment.
Multiple staff referrals attract additional benefits: another maximum $5,000 monetary bonus each, or a holiday package or school fee offset of equivalent value if they have children enrolled at the college. Recruited staff also will receive bonuses, to a total maximum gross value of $5,000 when they complete probation and six months’ permanent employment.
“The scheme doesn’t draw on any state or federal government schools funding”, said the spokesman.
“But we are going the extra mile, in a tight job market, to recruit the best teachers for our school community.”
Golden Connect adds to staff wellbeing initiatives already making Al-Taqwa a place where staff love coming to work every day. These include on-site coffee carts and access to a state-of-the-art gymnasium, catered staff lunches, and opportunities for staff “early marks” during the school term.
Al-Taqwa College is very excited about all these measures.
“We allare a committed and passionate team committed to helping each other, our students and our entire school community to be the best we can be,” the spokesman said.
