Teachers may also be asked to accompany students on field trips or school trips, which may not occur during school hours. Teachers are not paid extra for these trips, but all expenses incurred are covered by the school. Teachers at the secondary level sponsor one extra-curricular activity.
The teacher is expected to attend teachers' meetings, parent meetings, and other school functions. Most of these are held during school hours, but some may include an occasional evening or Saturday morning. There is no extra remuneration for this.
