PL Payment, Project Sessions, and Invoicing Process

Morning Creative team,

It was so wonderful to catch up with you all last week. I hope you enjoyed the PL and are happy with your teachers and your school placements for your first Creative Schools adventure.

Just a note to clarify about the invoicing for the PL as it has changed this year.

Professional Learning Payment:

For new Creatives joining the team please invoice us for the study fee of $50 for attending Day 1 of the Professional Development workshop.

Day 2 of the PL (returning Creatives) is now considered Session 1 of your 16-session school project. Please invoice $365.30 for this day. This payment includes the time spent completing the project plan (attached). Once your term plan is finished, please upload it to your school's Google Drive folder here (new link hopefully this should now work):

Let me know once you've uploaded your project plan so I can review it.

Project Sessions (Terms 2–4):

From Session 2 onward, please invoice $365.30 + GST (if you're registered) per session. This fee covers:

Planning time
90 minutes of classroom delivery with the teacher and students
Time for completing weekly documentation and reflections

There is also an additional $20 transport fee per session to include in your invoice.

Your Weekly Reflection Template is in the Google Drive folder. All your sessions are documented in a single Word doc where you note:

Warm-up activity
Main activity
Reflection method (via the 5 Habits board, reflection journal, or both)

Please also copy and paste your reflection into our NEW closed Engagement HQ group (Emily will send the link next term). It’s a great way to share the work that is happening in the projects and get inspired by other creatives in the program (and will replace the Facebook group).

Invoicing Process:

Send invoices to Emily after each session is delivered and the documentation is completed. And cc Accounts.
emily@scribblersfestival.com.au
accounts@form.net.au
Emily and Karen (from our Accounts team) are managing invoicing for all 26 projects, so this process helps them stay on top of everything.

Materials:

A reminder that there isn't a budget for materials in Creative Schools. We try to only use what the teacher has available to them in the classroom. We do however have a REmida account so you are welcome to collect materials under the FORM account.

Contracts

Contracts are underway. I'm finalising them today and need Laura to sign off on them so will get them out to you as soon as we can.

I hope you all have a relaxing Easter break. I'll be finishing work tomorrow and am on leave until the 28^th April. Looking forward to touching base when I get back.
