Role
[Attendance requirement for this position]
An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction.
This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act **** (Vic) or its successor.
Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).
A role at this range may include:
Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes.
Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3).
These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time.
The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.
Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options.
Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.

Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available.

Location Profile
At Wallington Primary School, we provide an inclusive, high-quality education for all students where Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience are valued and embraced.
Situated in the heart of the Bellarine Peninsula in a semi-rural setting, Wallington Primary School has been a focal point for the local community since ****.
The community of Wallington is largely made up of small acreage allotments, designed for a low-density population.
This factor creates a stable enrolment for the school.
However, the size, rural aspect, magnificent environment and positive reputation of the school have attracted many students from the wider area.
The school comprises of a modern main administration area and classrooms, including a recent extension adding two brand new classrooms, wellbeing space and meeting room.
The multi-purpose room, arts centre and kitchen facility also provide the school with a space that is flexible and can be used by classes for a range of learning activities.
This is enhanced to incorporate indoor and outdoor spaces, with bifold doors opening onto patios and the school oval.
The playgrounds are spacious and provide students with abundant areas to stimulate their imaginations in a safe environment, including active and passive play, and structured and flexible activities.
We enjoy strong community engagement and attract students from across the Peninsula.
With 133 students, a teaching staff of FTE 9.2, and support staff of FTE 7.1, we take pride in our small-school environment, collaborative staff culture, and commitment to evidence-based, innovative practices.

A major focus of our program is the delivery of a differentiated and responsive curriculum to ensure all students are supported and extended in their learning.
Through embedding the VTLM 2.0, we provide consistent approaches to teaching and learning that promote curiosity, engagement, and strong academic growth.
Our development and implementation of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) approach strengthens both learning and wellbeing outcomes by providing targeted, tiered interventions that meet every student¿s needs.
Our smaller school size allows us to foster solid relationships and provide unique opportunities for all students to connect and learn together.
Theme days, special events, and our Buddies Program highlight the inclusive and community-oriented nature of the school, helping students build confidence, empathy, and leadership skills.
At Wallington Primary School, we uphold high expectations and a strong belief that every student can learn and thrive.

School Values:
Respect
Resilience
Responsibility
Our values underpin our belief that every student can be successful in learning and that we must always strive for continuous improvement in all that we do.
