Penola Catholic College is excited to offer a fantastic leadership opportunity for a passionate and engaging Acting Head Cultural Inclusion to join our innovative and contemporary teaching environment.
Penola Catholic College acknowledges that we have students that have English as an Additional Language (EAL), are from a refugee background or are indigenous (that is identify or are of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent). To meet their individual needs, curriculum programs need to create a positive learning environment as these students often experience significant disruption to their schooling. The College has in place a number of strategies to support and enhance their learning, in particular their literacy. These students also require case management and significant holistic support for their needs due to the impacts of their experiences and other external factors.

In broad terms, the role encompasses the areas of curriculum development, programme administration, compliance reporting, and student well-being. They are also responsible for refugee students and students who identify themselves as being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. The Head of Cultural Inclusion will work closely with the Learning Diversity Leaders to ensure that refugee, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and other culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) students are supported within the classroom.
