Are you passionate about supporting students to Rise Up as they journey on their pathway to a successful future?

Newman Senior High School (SHS) is seeking to appoint an passionate and motivated individual to fill the role of Coordinator - Rise up Program and join their friendly team.

The Opportunity

The Rise Up Program is based on a whole-school framework focused on encouraging students to rise up to individual improvement; whether it be student attendance, academic achievement, taking on a leadership role, mentoring others, meeting a set goal, or community engagement.

Through an innovative approach, the program promotes and supports student achievement and wellbeing by providing all students across Years 7 to 12 the opportunity to celebrate success.

The Role

As Coordinator you would seek to improve individual student attendance, academic achievement, leadership, goal setting and community engagement across Newman, based on a whole school framework, focused on encouraging students to rise up to individual improvement, whether it be student attendance, academic achievement, taking on a leadership role, mentoring others, meeting a set goal, or community engagement.

The Coordinator of the Rise Up Program will be responsible for increasing leadership and community engagement opportunities for Newman SHS students by implementing activities that encourage student engagement and sense of belonging to the school and community. The Coordinator will guide the Student Councillors and manage the Tier of Opportunity points system within the school. A key aspect will be to encourage student voice across the program, and to foster a whole school approach to the program. As this role is supported by BHP, through the Pilbara Education Partnership, the Coordinator will also be responsible for managing the partnership budget, and for collecting, analysing and interpreting data to contribute to the Partnership reporting responsibilities.

Expected outcomes of the program are;

Increased student attendance and engagement in educational programs is achieved through the provision of coordinated key services to students, families and staff. Process for improving attendance and engagement are established and implemented. Effective strategies and procedures are in place to manage, monitor and improve attendance and engagement of students. Program information is collected and analysed, key issues are identified and appropriate strategies are developed. Interagency collaboration is established and coordinated to meet the needs of students.

The Location and Community

Newman, in the heart of the Pilbara, is your gateway to the adventure playground of Karijini National Park, with its epic chasms and pool-filled gorges. It's also where you can get up close to an equally awe-inspiring man-made spectacle - Mount Whaleback Mine, the world's largest open-cut iron ore mine. This welcoming mining and tourism town is 1,184 kilometres north of Perth - that's a short one hour and 45-minute flight or 13-hour road trip from the State's capital.

If you are a fan of sunrises and sunsets, you can catch fantastic views from Radio Hill Lookout, in one word Newman can be described as an outdoor adventure paradise. Within just two hours, you can reach marvellous spots for 4WDing, hiking, fishing, kayaking, swimming and rock climbing. Awe-striking panoramas, natural rock pools, ancient rock formations and wildflowers - our region brims with unique, diverse and wildly coloured landscapes.

With its laid-back country vibe, Newman boasts all the facilities you'd expect of a modern town - a host of restaurants, bars, pubs and even the Pilbara's first golf course, making it an ideal base to explore and experience the Pilbara.
