Tooradin Primary School is located 17 kilometres east of Cranbourne on the South Gippsland Highway in a semi-rural area. The township is situated on Westernport Bay. The school was founded in 1875 and moved into new school buildings in 2004.

The current enrolment is 289 students. The students are drawn not only from Tooradin, but also the coastal villages of Blind Bight, Warneet and Cannon¿s Creek.

Tooradin Primary has a strong values and social skills program. The school values of Respect, Responsibility, Teamwork, and Care, encourage and support a positive learning program in a safe and caring environment.

Throughout the school, classes are grouped according to Victorian Curriculum levels with teachers working together for curriculum planning and professional development. Classes are organised depending on the numbers of children at each level, gender balance, maintaining friendship groups and ensuring that there is equal distribution of ability throughout the grades. Usually classes are straight groups which encourage and enhance individual achievement and social development.

The school has a strong focus on student wellbeing and teaches a social skills program which is consistently implemented across the school. The behaviour of the students both in class and in the playgrounds reflects the consistent approach to discipline and high expectations of the school. The development of leadership skills in senior students is encouraged and their input into the tone of the school is important.

Many enrichment opportunities are offered, some of which are choir, school concert, interschool sports, sporting clinics, camps and excursions.

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.
