3d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

Endeavour Hills Specialist School is a rapidly expanding special education centre who is seeking to employ new Classroom teachers for 2025 in order to open several new classrooms, enabling us to offer more enrolment positions to students in need.

Endeavour Hills Specialist School provides highly individualized programs of learning for students aged 5 to 18 with disability and high needs who have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder with a language disorder and/or an intellectual disability.

School participation maximizes life opportunities for children and young people by providing them with a comprehensive learning program and access to support networks. It also helps to develop important skills, knowledge and values that set them up for further learning and active participation in their local community.

VISION: The vision of the Endeavour Hills Specialist School community is to inspire students to achieve their personal best and become active and independent members of their community.

MISSION: Our mission is to provide a blended curriculum of academic learning, high-interest programs and therapeutic supports within a positive behaviours framework that will cater for each student at their point of need and encourage personal growth, independent learning, and sound social-emotional behaviours.

OBJECTIVE: Endeavour Hills Specialist School's objective is to produce lifelong learners who are aware of their skills and strengths and have a positive attitude to challenges and opportunities.

VALUES: We have one value -BE KIND:

BE KIND to yourself

BE KIND to others





BE KIND to the workplace

We enact this value in our everyday actions and interactions - it is highly visible, explicitly taught, continuously modelled and regularly celebrated.

Our values form the foundation of our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Supports framework and reflect the school community’s intention to empower students to be the best person they can be. Students discuss, agree and enact ways in which the values can be applied in all aspects of the school community.

Our staff work in transdisciplinary teams comprising teaching staff, allied health practitioners and education support staff to cater for the diverse range of student abilities and needs. This approach respects professional knowledge and expertise, while also providing the opportunity for staff to learn from one another.

Endeavour Hills Specialist School places the child at the centre of all decisions regarding learning and teaching. We hold high expectations for and of the learning community. Diverse learning needs are accommodated with differentiated learning and the application of a wide range of teaching strategies and learning technologies.

Relationships are fundamental to ensuring positive engagement and collaboration across the school community. Endeavour Hills Specialist School staff explicitly teach,



model and demonstrate school and DET values in all their dealings with students, parents/carers, staff and the broader community.

*Experience in teaching students with autism will be favourable * We encourage teachers from Primary and Secondary schools to apply

We are offering an exceptional opportunity for experienced and dedicated special education teachers to join our dynamic team in the development of state-of-the-art specialist educational services. Our Team Around The Learner approach is enabled through a transdisciplinary approach to onsite learning, parent and community supports, and practical advice for our local network of schools.
