The theme for Robinvale College is "New Beginnings", where staff and students will collaborate with the rest of the College Community and its
partners to make Robinvale College the school of choice. An exciting challenge and opportunity lies in providing a learning workplace that simultaneously respects diversity, while building college and community identity and pride.

This position is for the educator who wants to make a difference. Robinvale College was established as a new entity in January 2016 through the closure of Robinvale P-12 College which was formed in 2010 through the merger of Robinvale Secondary College and Robinvale Consolidated School. The College serves a large horticultural and agricultural community.

We seek to appoint an experienced and highly motivated school leader; a leader who recognises and embraces diversity, engages, and partners with the local community, and who builds a highly skilled and strongly student-centred staff team to improve student outcomes and pathways to future learning, training, and employment opportunities.

As a rural school, Robinvale College's student profile is unique. The college is proud of its many cultures including Anglo Celtic, Italian, Koorie, Polynesian, Greek and Asian. In 2020 approximately 56% of the students were either of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, or Polynesian descent. In recent years the local community has seen an influx of new arrivals; there are over 40 different nationalities, including refugees from the Middle East and Horn of Africa - all in a town of 8,000 people. The need to provide inclusive educational opportunities for the many diverse cultures of students is fundamental.

Raising achievement in Literacy and Numeracy continues to be the focus of student learning.



The College aims for a combination of high-quality teaching practices focusing on using data to inform practice and high levels of student engagement, primarily through students having a sense of ownership of their data and setting challenging goals. We aim for students to develop resilience to persevere through any challenges and to navigate the everyday issues that affect them in a spirit of problem-solving, optimism, creativity, and fun.

In 2019 Robinvale College entered into a 10-year agreement with the Colman Foundation to become an 'Our Place' School. This exciting partnership will support the opportunity for Robinvale College to provide families with a greater level of access to a range of services.
