- Apply a 4.5% location loading for teachers at BCC for the duration of the CCM EA which expires on 31 December 2026
- Maintain paid maternity leave at 14 weeks and paid paternity leave at 2 weeks in accordance with the current ACT Christian Schools Teaching Staff Multi-Enterprise Agreement 2020 (ACT MEA)
- Preserve existing number of promotional positions and retention of all current promotional position holders for the duration of the CCM EA, and
