Location Profile

Montmorency South Primary School's vision is to be an inclusive learning community where students are inspired to be respectful, creative, curious and independent learners. Our mission is to nurture young minds and foster a love for learning. We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every student can achieve their full potential. We do this through engaging students in rich, diverse and challenging curricula, empowering them to become active global citizens.

Montmorency South¿s culture is friendly, supportive and caring, with an emphasis on our values of compassion, inclusion, respect, curiosity and learning - everyday (CIRCLE).

Our group of outstanding educators are wonderful role models in developing character in young people. Our caring staff show a genuine interest in each student¿s development, encouraging them to strive for personal excellence. Across our school, we employ the principles of inclusive education for all learners and implement evidence-based pedagogies to deliver the Victorian Curriculum Levels F-6 through systematic and scaffolded evidence-based practices. To support the implementation of the outcomes of Learning and Wellbeing, we embed a tiered response to student learning that focuses on curriculum and academic rigour, wellbeing, safety, and care at the universal (tier 1), targeted (tier 2) and individual levels (tier 3).

Located in leafy surrounds, with abundant areas for sport and recreation, Montmorency South provides the perfect setting for our students¿ primary education. Student enrolment in 2025 is 617. We have 57 equivalent full-time staff with three principal class. All classes are straight grades and teachers work in PLC teams to plan the programs for students. We have a range of specialist programs on offer at Montmorency South, including the French program which covers all classes from Year 1 to 6. As a founding school for the highly successful Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden (SAKG) program for years 3-6, our students have a garden to kitchen to table experience. Many opportunities are provided for students to develop leadership skills through participation in the Principal Advisory Leaders (PALs) and Student Action Leaders (SALs) teams.

Our Strategic Plan outlines our direction in broad terms, describing key focus areas of development which are intended to have maximum impact on overall school performance. The plan makes clear and public the responsibility of the school in relation to student achievement and progress. We operationalise the Strategic Plan through an Annual Implementation Plan.

Relationships are core at Montmorency South Primary School. We have a strong, enthusiastic and invested school community who eagerly support the work of the school to ensure that our focus is on the outcomes of Learning and Wellbeing. Community involvement in the school is high and is vital to the running of our school. We have a very proactive School Council and Parents and Friends group, who are committed and give of their time to organise and run several fundraising events throughout the school year. Both groups play a pivotal role in furthering the strong sense of community that is a trademark of Montmorency South Primary School.

Role

[Attendance requirement for this position]

An 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.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities may include:

• Provides routine support for teachers including assisting with planning of student routines
• Supports communication between teachers and parents
• Communicates with teachers on routine matters related to students and/or other responsibilities
• Provides basic physical care and wellbeing support for students such as toileting, meals, and lifting
• Communicating with student/s to support comprehension of basic tasks and information
• Addresses immediate behavioural presentations relating to specific students within a classroom setting aligned to school policy and procedure
• Provides basic support and supervision for individuals or groups of up to 4 students within a classroom setting
• Supports teachers in the coordination of educational programs independently or under minimal supervision, including rostering and organising the work of a team of aides, providing routine co-ordination, guidance, and support to other student support staff, liaising with external providers of support services about clearly defined support needs and resources, assisting teachers with the communication of student outcomes and educational programs
• Provides medical intervention support to a student/s, under specific conditions, with appropriate training and guidance
• Provides specialised communication support for students and teachers in areas such as AUSLAN and braille
