Paid Sabbatical Leave. The parties agree to introduce 20 sabbatical leave positions that will be available annually from the start of the 2024 school year to primary principals who have not previously been awarded a sabbatical and have 15 years or more of service. These sabbatical leave positions would be granted for a period of 20 school weeks. The agreed wording is included in the tracked change collective agreement. The parties agree to review the operation of the 20-week sabbatical provisions not less than 12 months following the opening of the scheme and consider if adjustments are required to ensure it is not undersubscribed. The parties also agree to work together to streamline the application form for principals accessing sabbaticals, specifically the requirements around programme outline, time commitments and reporting intentions. The parties will also explore changes to the way the sabbatical report operates to reduce and simplify reporting requirements. This work will be completed by the end of Term 3, 2023 in order to be implemented before the subsequent round of applications open. The agreed clause wording is included in the tracked change collective agreement (see clause 7.11).
