Department of Education Victoria - Healesville VIC

2d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

Healesville Primary School (pop. 270) is located on a sloping, treed, 2-hectare site nestled at the base of the Eastern Ranges, in close proximity to the main business centre of Healesville. Our school (established in 1866) is very proud of its history and contribution towards education and the community of Healesville. We celebrated our 150th birthday in October 2016. The Healesville area has robust historical links with its Koorie population. As a school, we celebrate the diversity of our heritage. Healesville Primary School continually aims to provide a friendly, safe and purposeful workplace in which students value respect and enjoy learning together as part of a community of learners. The ever-present helpers and open and friendly communication between teachers, children and parents is a strength. We endeavour to provide an atmosphere that is stimulating, meaningful and in which all students can experience success. This is achieved by catering for the individual learning needs of students, where students, parents and teachers work together as partners in education. Our school offers a challenging and comprehensive curriculum based on the Victorian Curriculum. We use the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0. Our teaching practices are evidence based, founded on the Science of Learning. We engage students and explicitly teach knowledge and skills. We provide daily reviews and opportunities for retrieval practice to ensure students are able to learn to mastery. Teachers frequently check for understanding throughout lessons and units and respond appropriately.



The school community has established a culture where students feel safe and supported and are able to focus on learning.

Role

Hours and days can be flexible for the right candidate.

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. 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 example
