Reference: 1494964

Location Profile

Woori Yallock Primary School is situated in the Yarra Ranges and we are blessed with some of the best grounds for a school, as well as an amazing outlook over the mountains and the Upper Yarra Valley.

The teaching and learning that happens both inside and outside the classroom is based on latest research. We use Fountas & Pinnell toolkit for reading comprehension, SWST for spelling and Michael Ymer¿s planning tools and resources for numeracy. Our teachers are complemented by literacy coaches and math specialists, enabling us to provide a comprehensive program that caters for all students. We also have specialist teachers in Art, LOTE, ICT and P.E.

Providing a supportive, positive and caring environment is also our priority. Our School Chaplain and Primary Welfare Officer work effectively with all staff members to support the emotional needs and wellbeing of all students.

We are very grateful that in the 2020 State Budget, it was announced that we will receive $10.5 million dollars to upgrade the school buildings, and turn them into more modern learning spaces. Construction will begin during 2022, however this will not impact the normal running of the school. We look forward to seeing the new buildings come to fruition.

Our school has doubled in its student population in the past 9 years and currently has 420 students. This growth is due to the improved teaching methods and outstanding academic results. Our parents now feel pride and confident in their local school. The school continues to dominate the Yarra Valley Schools Public Speaking Competition which it has won the past six years in a row.

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. Typically, 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.

Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.

An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialisedstudent/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.
