This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy.

Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.\nThis is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years.
