What Bell Path needs
- 01Set how many teaching sessions run each day.
- 02Set the start time of each session.
- 03Add your breaks, recording which session each one follows and how long it lasts.
- 04If some days differ, turn on the day-specific schedule and set those days individually.
Why this affects entitlements
In Victoria and Tasmania, planning time is not a published weekly figure. Both jurisdictions cap face-to-face teaching instead, which means a teacher’s entitlement is whatever falls out once that cap is respected against your actual teaching hours. Change your session length and every teacher’s entitlement moves with it.
In New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory the entitlement is a fixed weekly figure, so your bell times affect how the release is delivered but not how much of it is owed.
