Location ProfileWyndham Central College is located in a high growth corridor, approximately 20 minutes west of Melbourne and caters for students in Years 7 to 12 across the Wyndham district. Recent data sets in key areas have demonstrated significant improvement in line with the goals and targets identified in the previous Strategic Plan and reflect the dedication and commitment by the staff.
The Staff at Wyndham Central are committed to delivering a rigorous guaranteed and viable curriculum enhanced by the AVID program that aims to prepare students by developing a set of strategies to support their learning and chosen pathway. The college programs are innovative and challenging and include a 7-10 Enrichment and VHAP program, 7-10 Spanish Immersion Program (SIP), the 9-10 STEM Academy and our flagship schoolwide program AVID. The college is the first school in Australia to achieve certification as an AVID school and are currently recognized as Australia¿s first secondary Site of Distinction.
To further complement the academic program all students are provided with a Careers Action Plan (CAP), and a learning plan from Year 7 that requires commitment, reflection and regular consultation between student, teacher and parents/carers. This three-way partnership is crucial to the successful progress of all of the students at Wyndham Central College and is supported by an extensive tutor advocate and pastoral support program.
Underpinning the educational improvement plan the College has modern facilities including a Trade Training Centre, a designated Year 7 Centre, Year 8 & 9 Centre, a Year 10 Community and a Senior Years Centre. Dedicated content learning environments for the performing and visual arts, Science and STEM and Gymnasium and sporting facilities. Complementing the whole school buildings is the extensive active/passive landscaping plan and recreational outdoor plan, a student centered study and student services building.
The Leadership Team comprises of the Principal Team- Principal and Assistant Principals with dedicated leadership portfolios, Leading Teachers - Year Level Leaders (Engagement & Wellbeing), Literacy Leader, Numeracy Leader, Pathways & Transitions Leader, AVID pedagogy and operational Leaders, Senior Years Program Manager and Campus Management Leader. The team is complemented by faculty-based Learning Specialists who are our PLC instructional leaders.
Selection CriteriaSC1 Demonstrated capacity to perform duties consistent with established guidelines and frameworks, including coordinating and supporting others in respect to specific work functions relevant to the role.
SC2 Demonstrated capacity to work and collaborate with others in a team environment.
SC3 Demonstrated capacity to communicate effectively in a team environment, including high level oral and written communication skills.
SC4 Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.
SC5 Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management and other school staff in respect to the work area.
SC6 A commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others.
RoleAn 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.
- Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. 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, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.
ResponsibilitiesThe position primarily involves providing support to the Attendance Coordinator, Leading Teachers, Tutor Teachers and members of the Principal Class in the Middle Years team in monitoring and improving student attendance and punctuality associated with students. As part of a team dedicated to improving student connectedness and outcomes, the Attendance Officer ¿ Middle Years will often be the initial point of contact between the college and its community. As such, the Attendance Officer ¿ Middle Years must maintain the highest levels of interpersonal skills and confidentiality.
Areas of responsibility for the position will include:
- Liaise with Attendance Co-ordinator, Year Level Leaders, Assistant Principals in the Middle Years team and the Wellbeing team in relation to long term absences and attendance concerns and enquiries.
- Issue Late Arrival Passes in the administration building until 9.30am and produce Early Leaver¿s Passes for students as instructed by families/carers
- Monitor individual student attendance and improve upon unexplained absence data
- Support the Business Manager with the Census process
- Monitor and maintain correct recording of student absence data (both digital and hard copy) including, notes, certificates, absent learning plans and modified timetables
- Monitoring and retrieval of attendance data as requested by members of the middle years team.
- Liaise with parents/carers in relation to student absences for years 7-9 or as directed by Year Level Leader/Assistant Principal. Ensure information gained from families is communicated to the relevant staff (ie tutor teachers/ year level leaders/ student wellbeing).
- In conjunction with the attendance coordinator produce correspondence to families regarding attendance requirements.
- Assist with administrative requirements in the Middle Years Sub school office.
- Other duties as directed by the Principal or their delegate
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
