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.

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.

Implementing a Rich Curriculum Framework - Planning Curriculum Together with Students at the Centre
At Davis Creek Primary School, we believe the strongest learning happens when explicit teaching and inquiry work together.
Our role is not simply to help students acquire knowledge, but to ensure they can learn, grow, apply their understanding, and think deeply about the world around them.
We believe great teaching is driven by teacher expertise, not scripts.
Rather than relying on pre-packaged lessons or PowerPoint presentations, we invest in developing teachers who have a deep understanding of the Victorian Curriculum, the IB Primary Years Programme, and the pedagogy that sits behind high-quality instruction.
Professional judgment, responsive teaching, and knowing our learners are at the heart of every classroom.
At Davis Creek Primary School, we believe that every student deserves access to a rich, engaging and inclusive curriculum that inspires curiosity, foster critical thinking and develops a lifelong love of learning.
With students at the centre of all decision-making, our curriculum is designed to be rigorous, relevant and responsive to the diverse needs, strengths and aspirations of every learner.
Our rich curriculum framework is underpinned by a guaranteed and viable curriculum aligned to the Victorian Curriculum and informed by evidence-based teaching practices.
Through collaborative planning, professional dialogue and curriculum mapping, teachers work together to design high-quality learning experiences that ensure consistency, coherence and high expectations across the school.
Planning curriculum together is central to our approach.
Teaching teams engage in ongoing collaboration to analyse student learning data, identify needs and design purposeful learning sequences that maximise student growth.
This collective responsibility ensures that every student has equitable access to challenging and meaningful connections between their learning and the world around them.
To strengthen the implementation of our curriculum framework, we will continue to build teacher expertise through professional learning, collaborative inquiry and instructional coaching.
Staff will regularly evaluate the impact of curriculum delivery, assessment practices and teaching strategies to ensure continuous improvement and responsive support for all learners.
By planning curriculum together and placing students at the centre, Davis Creek Primary School is committed to developing confident, capable and compassionate learners who embody our values of CARE.
Through a rich curriculum framework, we empower students with the knowledge, skills and dispositions they need to thrive both now and in the future.
