Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.

Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

Applicants seeking part-time employment are encouraged to apply for any teaching service position and, if they are the successful candidate, request a reduced time fraction. Such requests will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to the operational requirements of the school.

Westall Primary School is a vibrant and multicultural educational institution situated in Clayton South, a bustling suburb located near Monash University and accessible via public transport. At the heart of our school lies a set of values that guides us in everything we do. These values include kindness, excellence, creativity, and fairness, and we strive to embody them in our teaching practices, school culture, and community partnerships.

As a co-located campus with Westall Secondary College and the City of Kingston Community Hub, our school offers a wide range of programs and services that enrich the lives of our students and their families. These include playgroups and kindergarten, child maternal health services, a local library, and access to secondary college courses. With our community partners, we provide a holistic approach to education that focuses on the whole child, from early childhood right through to graduation.

Recently, we completed a capital works upgrade that has transformed our campus into a modern and state-of-the-art learning environment. Our brand-new buildings now include a gymnasium, science and arts facilities, and new junior and senior learning centers. The school was successful in its application for a $600+ federal government grant for the following year to enhance the schools playgrounds during 2025. These facilities provide students with the resources they need to explore their interests and develop their skills in a safe and supportive setting.

At Westall Primary School, we are committed to providing a safe, caring, and productive environment where students can achieve great life outcomes. Our school has a strong emphasis on improving outcomes in English and Mathematics for all students. We provide a calm and structured learning environment that enables each student to achieve their best, regardless of their background or ability.

In addition, our school hosts an international student program that welcomes students from all over the world. Our international students learn alongside their peers in a safe and supportive environment, where they are encouraged to explore their interests and develop their skills. Additional support for new arrivals with limited English has been a feature of our 2024 program.

Our staff profile consists of a dedicated team of professionals, including two Principal Class members (Principal and Assistant Principal), 20.6 equivalent full-time teaching staff (including 1 Learning Specialist), and 10.8 EFT education support staff. With a 2024 enrolment of 300 students (an increase from 244 in the previous year), the school experienced steady growth in all year levels as the school is increasingly in demand in the local area and for international students. The Student Family Occupation Education (SFOE) of our school is 0.7101, which reflects the diverse and multicultural nature of the local community that the school is well known for.

At Westall Primary School, we aspire to be a highly organised institution where teamwork, aligned teaching practices, and resources work together to maximize outcomes. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive learning environment where students can thrive.

We provide a range of programs and structured processes that enhance well-being and promote positive behaviour. We also strive to provide a rich internal and external learning environment that connects students to each other, their teachers, the community, and the environment.

Lastly, our school continues to work with the Coleman Foundation to promote the 'Our Place' model of continuity of learning from early childhood right through to graduation. By working together with our community partners, we are able to provide a holistic and inclusive approach to education that benefits all of our students and their families.
