Newington College: Agreement On Staffing

Newington College has agreed not to declare senior staff positions vacant at the end of the year and will continue to negotiate collective arrangements covering the salary and conditions of teaching staff, the Independent Education Union announced today.

Under the agreement, most staff will remain in their current positions and any changes to areas of responsibility and remuneration resulting from the restructure will be appropriately compensated, with all salaries maintained.

IEU General Secretary Dick Shearman said the College would continue to negotiate collective arrangements covering the salary and conditions of teaching staff at the expiry of the current state award.

"This is an essential feature of this agreement in the current industrial climate," he said.

This maintains the previous arrangement rather than the school's initial proposal to introduce up to four weeks compulsory attendance.
