Location Profile

NEW SCHOOL OPENED AT THE START OF 2024

Laa Yulta Primary School (located in Mambourin) is one of 14 New Schools which opened at the start of the school year in 2024. It is located at 10 Elementary Road, Mambourin. We are helping the growing local population get a great education close to home. It will be able to enrol up to 650 students when the school is complete.

The school has students in Prep to Year 6. The school includes: an administration building (incorporating a library and specialist classrooms); 3 learning neighbourhoods; a community hub with indoor multi-use court; canteen; arts/music spaces; hard courts; and a sports field. Students will have great modern learning areas with air conditioning and heating. Outside, we have shade sails for sun protection. The school is designed to be environmentally sustainable. More information about the school build can be found via the school's website:

MOTTO 

Our school's motto is `Dream Big, Dare to Fail' 

VISION 

Laa Yulta Primary School's vision is to educate all students to the highest levels of academic achievement. Our school aims to empower all students to embrace the challenge in learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical wellbeing. 

MISSION 

Laa Yulta Primary School's mission is to strive to consciously create an environment of respect and inclusion that fosters a safe learning environment and sense of belonging. This will allow our students to take risks in their learning and thus lead to higher academic outcomes. 

CURRICULUM AND PEDAGOGY

Our pedagogy is based on the Science of Learning and takes into account research from developmental psychology, educational psychology, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience. It is centred on explicit instruction, which is characterised by carefully planned and sequenced lessons; clear and detailed instructions and modelling; and frequent and systematic monitoring of student progress and feedback to students. An example of this pedagogy is using the `SoundsWrite' program to teach reading across our school. Classroom teachers will be supported to build their capacity through PLCs and provided training.  Experience in these areas is not necessary ¿ just a willingness to learn.  The school has also started with well developed School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports, Curriculum Scopes and Sequences and amazing resources.

This position starts at the beginning of Term 3 and is ongoing student support position. If you require further information about the role, please contact Mark Zahra on 03 9967 2*** or **********@education.vic.gov.au.

Role

Hours and days are negotiable, but 8:45am to 2:55pm, Monday to Friday would be preferable.

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
  • 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
Who May Apply

Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
