I've had (and still have) classes of 40+, especially in Lower Sec with FSBB, but nothing above 45.

yes there is a limit in cockpit too u less it's actually 2 classes or more in the system but during actual class time it's combined

hi eo, do you know anyone who changed to AED SEN or AED counselling or AED SWO? I heard the pay cut is quite bad? I'm interested to change over as I prefer the bigger impact even if the number of students I work with is smaller. How bad is the pay cut in terms of percentage? I understand that AED has no connect plan so I will also lose that.

Anyone got the pay scale by GEO scale?

Accepted an offer from another school through OPE. My current school wants to hold me back until June, do I need to inform the new school or would they already be kept in the loop?

The two schools will talk it out. You will be informed via email on the transfer date. Most likely in June for you, it seems

They would be kept in the loop.

SLs need to negotiate among themselves.

what is a HOT?

If I take on SH role in Jan 2024, and I've been GEO4 for 2 years by April 2024, how long will it take for me to up rank to GEO5?

I've seen it happen in one year, I've also seen it take about 4 years since appointment. It seems to vary widely based on performance as well as (perhaps) how hard your school pushes for it. And also err.. CEP, or LP or whatever it's called now.

Happy Ordinary Teacher. It usually refers to middle aged or older teachers who have hit a comfortable salary and just do minimal work. They usually reject all other extra workload.

HOT does not exist for the younger generation anymore. Increments, promotions and progressions have slowed down a lot. If they reject workload and want to be HOT, might as well just resign for better prospects outside. The younger ones can only be SOTs now. Either way also will be SOT.
