VPRS 11373 Teacher Service History Cards - Professional Officers

This series of cards was created in 1960 and was maintained by the Department until 1989 in order to have a record of all members of the teaching service who were employed by the Department in non-teaching roles. Prior to this the information was contained in record books that are now held by Public Record Office Victoria (VPRS 13579 Teacher Record Books, VPRS 13970 Education of Migrants Teacher Record Book, VPRS 14018 Technical Staffing Old Books). The Department also holds copies of this information on microfilm. These roles could include social workers, psychologists, guidance officers, District Inspectors, speech therapists, librarians, interpreters, audio-visual officers, welfare officers, and adult migrant education instructors. The cards in this series are a basic summary of the information that would appear on a teacher's personnel file, and have been kept as a concise and speedy form of reference.Information appearing on the cards includes the name, date and place of birth of the teacher, their qualifications (Institution studied at and year of qualification), an Annual Inspectors report (comprising remarks on the teachers character and his/her work performance), locations taught at, classifications held, resignation date, reason for resignation (coded), and a record number.The resignation codes are:01 - Death02 - Termination03 - Dismissal04 - Dismissal (section 58A, 58(1) or 47 (1))05 - Retirement - Normal (age 55-64)06 - Retirement - Age 6507 - Retirement - Ill health08 - Resignation - Marriage09 - Resignation - Confinement10 - Resignation - Domestic11 - Resignation - Ill health12 - Resignation - Travel overseas13 - Resignation - Travel interstate14 - Resignation - Teach elsewhere15 - Resignation - To become a temporary teacher16 - Resignation - Other employment17 - Resignation - Full time study18 - Resignation - Personal reasons19 - Resignation - Dissatisfaction20 - Resignation - Other/no reason21 - Stand for State election22 - Stand for Federal election23 - Resignation - Transfer to another Department24 - Changed personnel type25 - Transferred to T.A.F.E. teaching service26 - Nil27 - Resignation - Enhanced resignation package28 - Resignation - To change time fraction29 - Resignation - Voluntary departure package30 - Retrenchment31 - Retirement - Age (voluntary departure)32 - Agreement cessation55 - Retirement - Age 55-6077 - Inactive payroll record96 - Studentship relinquished/cancelledThe record number appearing on the cards is Department-wide and matches with the employee's personnel file.Since 1989, the information contained on the cards has been entered on the Teacher Management System (TMS) database.
