Logan City, Australia Education Full time

**About Us**:
Welcome to the community of Logan City Special School. At Logan City Special School we cater for students who require significant adaptations to access learning through a high level of individualised programming by specialist teachers.
The school is also located between Woodridge State Primary School and Woodridge State Secondary School. Together we make a corridor of educational excellence in the local community. Our school is easily accessed via train (adjacent to Woodridge Station) and also by bus. The school opened 1972 as the Woodridge Opportunity School. It's name later changed to Woodridge Special School and in 1997 was renamed as Logan City Special School in order to recognise that the students came from the whole of Logan City, not only the Woodridge area.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to;
- Provide leadership and guidance for the implementation of innovative measures aimed at improving student learning outcomes and attendance in schools where a significant percentage of students may have a disadvantaged background, ensuring quality learning outcomes for all students.
- Where requested, prepare all data returns for the Principal.
- Provide management and engagement strategies including induction activities of new arrivals, and advise on specific academic, social and emotional needs of new arrivals.
- Monitor students' individual performance and behaviour and develop and implement intervention strategies where necessary.
- Communicate and work with parents, staff, higher education institutes and State Schools Division to develop strategies to improve learning outcomes, student achievements and attendance.
