A Victorian school operating under a new wage agreement has asked students to turn up later in the day so it can properly staff its fete.  

Out-of-hours events were previously run off the back of free teacher labour, but last year the Victorian Government Schools Agreement was finalised to ensure educators working overtime were supported with time in lieu.
