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.

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.

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.
