SCHOOL PROFILE & VISION

Mount Alexander College or MAC is an inner-city school located in Flemington, 5 kms from Melbourne CBD. It has become the school of choice for families living in the Kensington, Flemington, Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds Community, with enrolments doubling in the past 4 years. In 2016, MAC underwent significant change, transforming itself into an innovative and progressive school with a focus on student empowerment and student-centred learning. MAC¿s approaches to curriculum provision and pedagogy, student engagement and wellbeing have gained national and international recognition.

At Mount Alexander College our vision is to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment that empowers students to direct their own learning. We endeavour to create a school that remains connected and engaged with the community and caters for all kinds of success. Finally, we aim to help students reach their full potential as global citizens who, with integrity, can positively contribute to the world.

OUR VISION IN THE CLASSROOM

In fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for our students we must know them, their strengths and their areas for improvement. We use formative assessment to guide our instruction and empower students to direct our instructional choices. Learning at MAC is collaborative, both peer to peer but also students and teachers work together to negotiate the best learning pathway. Our students are connected to each other and the broader world, both through their use of digital technologies and in their access to a global perspective in all their classes. Our classes draw on local expertise and community engagement where possible to allow our students to see how the learning in the classroom relates to their everyday lives. Our students understand themselves as learners, they are informed about their progress, how they have improved and what they need to do further to continue to improve. Our school values are celebrated and embedded in our work in the classroom.

Mount Alexander College is a school where teachers:

  • stimulate and support ongoing teacher learning and collaborative teacher research within the school;
  • develop and improve the quality of teaching practices of pre-service teachers;
  • develop innovative curriculum and teaching resources and practices that are shared across Victorian secondary schools;
  • promote and provide credentialed professional learning for teachers in Victoria and elsewhere;
  • actively participate within local school networks and partnership arrangements with local tertiary providers;
  • take an active role within the local community.

The Mount Alexander College learning environment and curriculum:

  • supports a teaching and learning culture that is exciting, reflective, engaging and student centred;
  • supports independent thinking and a respect for student work and the work of others;
  • fosters a strong sense of identity and belonging;
  • caters for an innovative and broad scaffolded curriculum;
  • facilitates innovative, evidence based pedagogies;
  • incorporates flexible internal and external learning spaces supported with the most current technologies to support learning; and
  • enables students to link with and work collaboratively with other schools, tertiary institutions and state, national and international organisations.

At Mount Alexander College we promote teaching and learning that is collaborative, technology rich, reflective, purposeful and personalised that prepares students for our rapidly changing world. Our common instructional model supports the development of a shared language about teaching practice and supports teacher reflection. Jane Pollock¿s GANAG lesson planning schema and the effective implementation of the High Impact Teaching Strategies underpins the teaching and learning cycle at MAC. Staff participate regularly in cycles of inquiry within Professional Learning Teams and in doing so, strive to provide highly stimulating learning that is tailored made to meet the passion and needs of our students.

At Mount Alexander College, we strongly promote our values of Community, Engagement, Excellence and Respect.

Selection Criteria
  • Demonstrated experience and technical knowledge in coordinating an International Students Admittance program.
  • Demonstrated high level written and oral communication skills with an ability to relate effectively with teaching and support staff as well as students, parents, external providers and the wider school community
  • Demonstrated commitment to professional development and growth.
  • Demonstrated ability to provide a safe learning environment, identify and effectively manage wellbeing concerns.
  • Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team to support student with various academic, behavioural and wellbeing needs.
Role

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.

Responsibilities
  • Take operational responsibility for all aspects of the International Student Program (ISP) for full fee paying and exchange students, including sourcing homestay placements, airport pickups, enrolment processes for both English language schools and Mount Alexander College (MAC), student welfare and orientation, both pre and post arrival.
  • Conduct school orientation program.
  • Regularly monitor overseas student attendance, check academic performance and organise translations of reporting documents.
  • Support international students with visa, work and school-based enquiries, arrange speakers and organise seminars in conjunction with careers advisor.
  • Conduct regular meetings with international students.
  • Provide advice to MAC students on Exchange programs
  • Represent MAC at DET briefings, liaise with ISP Unit, arrange attendance and participation of international students at organised events and functions and advertisement of these events in school publications.
  • Provide information and advice to the teaching staff and Principal team on ISP matters which impact school operations.
  • Manage the processing of international student admissions, registrations, enrolments and transfers.
  • Provide required level of administrative support for school events, functions and projects.
  • Implement induction programs for new international students, volunteers and other workers to the school.
