Ocean Grove Primary School is situated in central Ocean Grove on the Bellarine Peninsula and has provided quality education for our community's children since 1891. Established grounds provided a treed environment for outdoor programs whilst our proximity to the foreshore, shops and community facilities provides ample opportunity for local community interaction. Our current enrolment of 600 students enables us to provide specialist teaching in areas of Performing and Visual Arts, Physical Recreation, STEM and Library. The school has a caring atmosphere, a balanced staff and prides itself on the active involvement of parents and community in the many facets of school life, both in and out of the classroom.

Ocean Grove Primary School continues to provide a comprehensive curriculum underpinned by a strong link between technology and teaching and learning. The curriculum includes a range of specialist programs, interventions and extension programs and informed up to date research projects.

Ocean Grove Primary School staff show a strong commitment to a culture of ongoing and continuous improvement, in particular in professional learning, peer coaching and performance and development.

Role

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 2006 (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 regul
