Position Information

The NSW Department of Education provides, funds and regulates education services for NSW students from early childhood to secondary school, delivering world-class education through its public schools and providing funding support to non-government schools. We employ, develop and support teachers, leaders and other staff to deliver the best outcomes for students and to advance the wellbeing of Aboriginal people.

About the Role

Rainbow Street Public School is an inclusive learning place where quality learning is valued every day in every experience for every learner and collective teacher efficacy and collegiality are high. Curiosity and critical thinking are embedded into learning, sparking student potential. Students thrive as they are encouraged to embrace challenges as learning opportunities and to collaborate as confident, creative learners.

Our students are culturally diverse with students coming from 47 different language backgrounds and 2.1% Aboriginal students. Teachers nurture students from the beginning and hold student wellbeing at the centre of all that they do. Our secure,



friendly and team-teaching learning environments support teachers to use a learner-centred, inclusive teaching approach that gives every student a chance to succeed. Teachers work collaboratively to encourage all students to strive for excellence and to embrace each opportunity.

Rainbow Street Public School’s Inclusive Hub has four support classes, catering for students with Autism, Moderate Intellectual Disability, Mild Intellectual Disability, and Mental Health needs. Each class is supported by a Special Education Teacher and a School Learning and Support Officer (SLSO). This collaborative approach ensures students receive individualised support while developing their independence, confidence and capacity to engage meaningfully in their learning and school community.

The role of the School Learning and Support Officer (SLSO) is centred around building positive, respectful and trusting relationships with students. By creating a safe and supportive environment, SLSOs help students feel valued, understood and confident to participate in their learning.

As part of our inclusive philosophy, Rainbow Street Public School Inclusive Hub students are supported to integrate with our mainstream students in classes, school activities, excursions, sporting opportunities, social events and other whole school experiences.
