B - 39.7.2 The First Day

It is probably wise not to 'bombard' new staff with too much new information on the first day. Provide sufficient information so the staff member has something to work with and knows where to go with questions.

A number of school staff members may be involved in providing the induction programme (e.g. head of school, administrative officer or secretary, colleagues, etc.) and will have varying degrees of contact with the staff member on the first day.

Some suggestions for the first day include:

  1. Be punctual when greeting the new staff member.

  2. Be enthusiastic and sincere.
  3. Explain your role within the school and in the staff member's induction programme.
