**Location Profile**:
Are you seeking a vibrant teaching environment that is more than just a workplace? We are seeking passionate teachers to join our esteemed team for the 2025 school year and beyond. Western Port Secondary College is conveniently located at 215 High Street, Hastings. Getting here is a breeze: just a 15-minute drive from Pearcedale, Somerville, and Tyabb, a 20-minute commute down the Western Port highway from Cranbourne, or Langwarrin. Peninsula link (toll free) makes the commute from Frankston and surrounding suburbs of Seaford, Carrum and Patterson Lakes a smooth 25-minute drive making your way to Western Port Secondary College is a stress-free journey each day

Imagine joining a school where the Principal, Leaders and staff are deeply involved in daily life, actively supporting each other to foster an environment that reflects our Western Port Way. Are you seeking a school with an amazing staff who collectively support and build each other up, and who truly get along and enjoy working together, making the workplace one where no one wants to leave? With a hands-on approach, you'll find the Principal Class actively engaged in the college community, visible daily at the school gate, in and around classrooms, on yard duty, supporting School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) processes and interacting with the students. With an open-door policy, they warmly welcome any staff member seeking support or a conversation, or any student seeking advice or counsel. They wholeheartedly foster a collaborative environment, where every teacher's voice is not only heard but also valued.

Are you looking for a school who has high standards where students are respectful and well behaved, displaying positive attitudes and a strong eagerness to learn. Our college ensures from the moment students walk in they are one time, ready to learn and equipped to enthusiastically engage in a harmonious and productive classroom atmosphere, where both teaching and learning are highly effective and enjoyable. This positive environment fosters academic and personal growth, making our college a wonderful place to work and learn. For times when our students are not ready to learn or exhibiting behaviours that are not reflective of our college values of Community, Achievement, Respect and Engagement (CARE) we have arguably the most effective and well-resourced support system in the network. We have a strong SWPBS model that is resourced with a full time Rover (youth worker or teacher) who monitors a live call-out system through Compass when teachers need support in their classroom. The average wait time for support to reach a classroom is 2 mins, where the Rover works with the teacher to either rectify the situation or remove the student if necessary. Students removed attend a supervised space staffed by Leaders and the Principal Team who follow up and deal with student issues while attempting to return them to their learning program the following period where possible. Click on this SWPBS link for further information and to view videos of these processes in action.

This opportunity to join our college is perfectly timed for aspirant leaders, with the full School Improvement Team (SIT) positions ending their tenure at the end of 2025. Aspirant or experienced leaders wanting to join a tremendous team and who are looking for teachers with similar values: collaborative, trusting, hard-working, dedicated, committed, flexible in their thinking, open, and most importantly, a willingness to make the workplace enjoyable Our staff bring together a mixture of skills and expertise, but all demonstrate these values and work together to support one another. Our staff take immense pride in this welcoming, inclusive, and enjoyable atmosphere, where we all work harmoniously towards our common goals.

At Western Port Secondary College, we strongly encourage and model work/life balance. School starts at 8:30 am and concludes at 3:00 pm. This means that on a meeting night, staff are leaving at 4:30 pm or on a non-meeting night, 3:30 pm. We aim to promote a focus on other important things, like self and family.

Our meetings are set around school priorities, with Curriculum and Instructional Practice the focus, and not deviated from, to allow staff to maximise their time and undertake collaborative work and learning together. Year Level team time and staff wellbeing are also priorities within our term planners.

We have brand-new, modern facilities, including a 12 million dollar architecturally designed Senior and Junior Hub and dedicated Wellbeing Wing, domestic and industrial kitchens, science labs, visual arts, and performing arts spaces, a gymnasium as well as expansive, manicured grounds. We sit on over 7 hectares with loads
