The school confirmed that [a small number of staff will be made redundant after a review of its resources and programs](https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/9388904/ballarat-grammar-announces-staff-redundancies-after-review/). At [Metaintro](https://www.metaintro.com), we track layoffs, store closures and return-to-office mandates in our [layoffs tracker](https://www.metaintro.com/layoffs). ## What Staff Will Be Affected? The decision concerns [a small number of redundancies across non-teaching professional staff](https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/9388904/ballarat-grammar-announces-staff-redundancies-after-review/). For workers assessing the announcement, the distinction between professional support roles and classroom roles is central to its scope. The school’s classroom operations are outside the announced reductions: [The redundancies will not affect teaching staff and programs.](https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/9388904/ballarat-grammar-announces-staff-redundancies-after-review/) The announcement therefore concerns non-teaching employment rather than a reduction in teaching staff or programs. ## What Review Led To The Redundancies? A spokesperson described an ongoing assessment of [how its resources and programs align with student needs, educational priorities, and the School's strategic direction](https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/9388904/ballarat-grammar-announces-staff-redundancies-after-review/). That assessment provides the school’s stated context for the employment decision. The spokesperson said the reductions would allow the school to [redirect resource into driving the best possible learning environment and education experience for current and future students](https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/9388904/ballarat-grammar-announces-staff-redundancies-after-review/). Its explanation connects the staffing changes to resource allocation and the education experience, rather than changes to teaching programs. ## What Support Is The School Prioritising? Following the notification, the spokesperson said the immediate priority was to [support affected staff and provide stability for the school community](https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/9388904/ballarat-grammar-announces-staff-redundancies-after-review/). That places employee support alongside continuity for the wider community in the school’s stated response. ## What Should Affected Workers Do Next? - Request written confirmation of your employment status, notice arrangements and any redundancy entitlements before making decisions about your next role. - Keep copies of employment documents, payslips and correspondence somewhere you can access independently of workplace systems. - Update your resume with responsibilities, transferable skills and achievements that demonstrate the value of your work. - Ask about available support and seek independent advice if you need help understanding your employment rights or proposed arrangements. ## Related Articles - - - - ## People Also Asked ### Q: Which Staff Are Covered By The Announcement?
