About the Role Cherbourg State School is a Partnership Initiative school.
PI schools are committed to working beyond the classroom, partnering with families and communities to make shared decisions.
This approach helps ensure that every student has the best possible chance to succeed at school.
The Partnership Initiative includes several parts that operate at both the school level and the broader system level.
Together, these parts help schools respond more effectively to local needs and priorities.
At the system level, the initiative provides differentiated support, enabling adaptable responses to complex challenges.
At the school level, it aims to improve how schools connect and work with their communities to better support students.
The design of the initiative recognises that real change happens through a combination of factors.
These include differentiated resources within schools (such as skilled staff in a specific area), stronger support for school leaders, local decision-making systems that encourage innovation, and processes that allow support to be tailored to each school's needs.
Responsibilities include, but not limited to:



Provide visionary and strategic leadership to develop and drive a shared educational vision focused on excellence in teaching, learning and improved outcomes for all students, while establishing high expectations for student and staff performance.
Demonstrate ethical, values-driven leadership by embedding socially just, inclusive and equitable practices, fostering a positive school culture and promoting continuous professional growth and lifelong learning.
Build and sustain meaningful partnerships with parents, government agencies, community organisations, industry and business to strengthen community engagement and create enhanced opportunities for students.
Lead the effective strategic and operational management of the school, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and departmental policies, and managing resources responsibly to achieve school priorities and long-term improvement goals.
