>We are exploring opening a new position to cope with the increase in work that has been creeping up on us over the past few years. What we are considering is a Computer Technician position. However, I have no clear idea of what salary other schools are paying, and would appreciate your help.
>What annual salary is currently being paid to computer technicians in schools?

For a comparison to the government sector, you can look at the terms and conditions in the School Services Officer Handbook publically available at:

http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/hrweb/Pdfs/SSOhbk.pdf

The relevant part is Appendix B which outlines the tasks and responsibilities at each level generally for SSOs (not just IT) along with a table at the end with pay scales.
