Responsibilities:

• Supervise and manage classroom activities in the absence of the teacher
• Ensure students stay on task and complete assigned work
• Maintain good behaviour management and discipline in the classroom
• Foster a positive learning environment for students

• Collaborate with teaching staff and follow the school’s policies and procedures

Requirements:
