Vision
Fitzroy High School values children as individual learners who are full of potential and capable of excellence. Our students will be lifelong learners, reflective and creative thinkers, responsible and active citizens, and resilient and adaptable problem solvers able to navigate through an uncertain and constantly changing future.
Fitzroy is a learning community where students and teams of teachers work together to:
achieve high standards so that all students fulfil their capabilities in academic, intellectual, social, emotional and physical development;
celebrate diversity and embrace individual differences, including class, culture, race, gender, sexuality and ethnicity;
build a cohesive, compassionate and proud school community with a productive legacy for the future;
develop beyond our current capacity through continuous change and review;
participate in and contribute to our wider community.
Philosophy
Fitzroy High School embraces a bold and ambitious dream: striving for excellence and equity. We aim to be a humane learning community in which teachers use relationships to deepen their knowledge of students.
This is in order to engage all of them in an intellectually challenging education based on powerful ideas, help them toward social maturity, and prepare them for a life of meaningful possibilities and active participation as Australian and global citizens.
The school places students at the centre of their learning and the structure of the school is organised around meeting the educational needs of our students.
With involvement of parents and carers, teachers support student to make choices about their learning and development, maximising their performance across a broad range of subjects and life skills.
Senior Programs Partnership
Fitzroy High School offers a comprehensive Senior Program including VCE, and VET certificates, and has been partnering with Collingwood College for over 15 years to co-deliver the Senior curriculum. The partnership allows both schools to be responsive to the needs and interests of students and provides the capacity to offer a greater range of subjects, compared to what would be possible stand alone. The two schools offered 116 classes this year across Years 11 and 12.
Our shared campus, Wurun Senior Campus was opened in ****, has provided an exciting state of the art senior learning environment to accommodate the senior students of both schools.
The combined leadership teams of the two schools believe optimal senior student outcomes can best be achieved from well-integrated collaboration, while also maintaining the identities of two separate schools. The Partnership is designed to complement each school¿s strengths.

Position location
This position is primarily located at the Wurun Senior Campus. This position will involve working across both Wurun Senior Campus and Fitzroy High School 7-10 Campus at times with the Operations Manager at the FHS 7 - 10 Campus.
Selection Criteria
KSC 1. Demonstrated high-level school facilities, grounds and building management and maintenance.
KSC 2. Demonstrated capacity to manage the work of other staff and contractors to develop procedures, guidelines and calendars relating to maintenance of an organisation or school facilities.
KSC 3. Demonstrated ability and experience in organising and determining work priorities required of the School Facilities and Building Manager position. This will include the flexibility and responsiveness to undertake unscheduled or emergency work.

Role
There is an attendance requirement for this position of 10 Days or 76 hours during the term breaks.
Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.
Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Skilled support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act **** (Vic) or its successor.
