Job scope wise, I believe I can excel given my past experiences in senior management roles...I am known to be on the ball so slacking isn't in my vocabulary. I hope to improve on internal work processes and help the Principal run the school more efficiently, in terms of administration and operations, making life easier for the Principal and the teachers...so that the latter can focus more on their students....definitely not entry level mentality and a different perspective from yours, altogether.

Admin manager in a school is a nice term for office executive in the private sector. If all these fancy career aspirations you describe are real, you are applying for the wrong job. As a pao ka liao administrator in the school, you are expected to follow SOP and perform standard office duties, not designing policy or strategy on how to support the school better.
Also I'm a bit puzzled that you said you have extensive experience at the senior management level and currently a GM and Executive Director but somehow HR say they can match your current pay. Very strange. How much are you drawing currently? I would think a GM/ED is at minimal somewhere 12-15k, no way can fit in even if it's at the cap.
GM should apply for DD and above in
MOE, even if you want to take it somewhere lower I would think VP (administration) in the school is about the lowest you can go.
I've never heard of a GM/ED from another place apply for a school admin manager before... Not even as a retirement 'pass time' job...
