Department of Education Victoria – Glenroy VIC

1d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

Glenroy Central Primary School is located in Logan St Glenroy and is part of the Hume/ Merri-bek Network. Our school consists of four buildings: an Administration Building, Junior and Senior Learning Communities and a full-sized Gymnasium/ Performing Arts facility. We have a Visual Arts room attached to the Senior Learning Community. Our current enrolment is about 260 students. We currently have 25 teaching staff with a mixture of full time and part time staff. We have 9 Education Support Staff who work in a variety of capacities including library and IT. Specialist teachers provide programs in Physical Education, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and STEM. Our LOTE is Auslan which is integrated into the daily program of our Learning Communities.

The school is located in a multicultural, disadvantaged community with our main nationalities being, Lebanese, Pakistani, Indian, Iranian and Nepalese. We have about 70% of our families who are on Health Care cards and 80% who have a language background other than English.

Our school works in Learning Communities and is therefore very team focussed. Each of the four Learning Communities (Prep, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6) has an allocated team of teachers and aides who are collectively responsible for providing programs that meet the needs of all students and for ensuring that all students reach their full potential. Our school values of Curiosity, Collaboration, Citizenship, Character and Caring are embedded in our daily work.

We also have two kindergarten buildings onsite offering both 3- and 4-year-old programs.



The kindergartens are managed by the Northern Schools Early Years which manages a number of local kindergartens that are on school sites.

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 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. Typicall,y, 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 transparent guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.
