**Position Information**:
The Deputy Principal Inclusion and Support is a strategic, non-teaching, leadership role dedicated to inclusion, with a focus on leading improvement in the learning, wellbeing, and independence of students with disabilities. The Deputy Principal Inclusion and Support shares the broader educational imperatives of the Deputy Principal position but with the explicit focus of driving a school wide culture of inclusion, including high expectations and improved outcomes for students with disability.

The roles are located in mainstream secondary schools with seven or more support classes and are aligned to the Department's Deputy Principal role statement, emphasising: Leading Teaching & Learning, Developing Self & Others, Leading Improvement, Innovation & Change, Leading the Management of the School, Engaging & Working with the Community.

GSCAPAHS is in Guildford, Western Sydney, and has an enrolment of approximately 760 students including approximately 90% from language backgrounds other than English, from over 47 nationality backgrounds and 10 Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander students. It includes a Support Unit with 5 classes of mild and moderate intellectual disability, and a selective Creative and Performing Arts stream. GSCAPAHS is close to Holroyd and Chester Hill IEC's, with students transitioning to mainstream education from diverse backgrounds.

The 2023 FOIE is 195 and the school budget allocation includes Equity funding for Socio-Economic Background, English Language Proficiency and Low level Adjustment for Disability.

The school has been partially selective in the Creative and Performing Arts since 2012. Students audition for selection in dance, drama, music, visual arts or circus and undertake 5 hours of specialist extension workshops and ensembles per cycle in classes of students from Yr 7-12. Ensemble students make up about 15-20% of the student population. Ensemble students enter competitions, perform in festivals and support school events. An annual performance at Parramatta Riverside Theatre showcases the diverse talent of GSCAPAHS students.

GSCAPAHS is part of the Educational Pathways Program (EPP). This program is designed to introduce students to a range of vocational training and employment pathways. Program initiatives include: TAFE YES+ Program, Job Readiness Workshops and Apprenticeships and Traineeships Head Start.

GSCAPAHS runs programs supported by a range of groups including Granville Multicultural Community Centre, ABCN, Cumberland Council, Pasifika Achievement to Higher Education (PATHE), AusSip, The Smith Family, Community Migrant Resource Centre, PCYC, Granville TAFE, University of New South Wales, and Western Sydney University.
