Job description

Wyndham Vale Primary School

Established in 2015, Wyndham Vale Primary School (WVPS) is located in the Bluestone Estate in the City of Wyndham, west of Melbourne, and behind the Werribee Racecourse. Our community is diverse in its socio-economic and cultural backgrounds with approximately 60 different languages spoken by the families of students who attend here. The school has experienced rapid growth in these initial years of operation and current enrolment sits at 1,287.

Our school has a number of best practice agreements that we expect all staff to embrace. These school wide approaches ensure consistency across classrooms and assist us in the achievement of our vision statement of `High Levels of Achievement for All Students'. All teaching staff are active participants in high functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and student voice has a strong focus in our next strategic plan.

 Students learn within their own classroom, with their own homeroom teacher for most lessons, although staff are expected to have a collective responsibility for all students across the cohort through the work done in their PLC. Differentiation is a key feature of the work we do, and all programs are framed around a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy.

Our school prides itself on the excellent facilities, both indoor and outdoor to support high expectations and student learning. Curriculum Support programs operate in Physical Education, The Arts and LOTE, with Auslan as the language that is taught in our school. ICT is embedded across all learning areas. Learning spaces include a full-sized oval, large gym and outdoor hard courts and sandpits, extensive play equipment, native gardens, areas turfed with both real and synthetic grass, classrooms within the main and several relocatable buildings, along with a library, performing and visual arts spaces. Before and After School Care runs every day the school is in operation.

WVPS has a strong presence and positive reputation within the local community, and welcome applicants who would continue to enhance our work towards achieving the best outcomes for students.

The Classroom Teacher classification comprises two salary ranges- range 1 and range 2.  The primary focus of the Classroom Teacher is on the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes.  The Classroom Teacher engages in critical reflection and inquiry in order to improve knowledge and skills to effectively engage students and improve their learning. 

As the Classroom Teacher gains experience his or her contribution to the school program beyond the classroom increases. All Classroom Teachers may be required to undertake other duties in addition to their rostered teaching duties provided the responsibility is appropriate to the salary range, qualifications, training and experience of the teacher.


Classroom teacher Range 2
Range 2 Classroom Teachers play a significant role in assisting the school to improve student performance and educational outcomes determined by the school strategic plan and state-wide priorities and contributing to the development and implementation of school policies and priorities.

A critical component of this work will focus on increasing the knowledge base of staff within their school about student learning and high-quality instruction to assist their school to define quality teacher practice.

Range 2 Classroom Teachers will be expected to:
- Have the content knowledge and pedagogical practice to meet the diverse needs of all students
- Model exemplary classroom practice and mentor/coach other teachers in the school to engage in critical reflection of their practice and to support staff to expand their capacity
- Provide expert advice about the content, processes and strategies that will shape individual and school professional learning
- Supervise and train one or more student teachers
- Assist staff to use student data to inform teaching approaches that enable targets related to improving student learning outcomes to be achieved.


Classroom teacher Range 1
The primary focus of the range 1 Classroom Teacher is on further developing skills and competencies to become an effective classroom practitioner with structured support and guidance from teachers at higher levels and the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. These teachers teach a range of students/classes and are accountable for the effective delivery of their programs.  Range 1 Classroom Teachers are skilled teachers who operate under general direction within clear guidelines following established work practices and documented priorities and may have responsibility for the supervision and training of one or more student teachers.

At range 1, teachers participate in the development of school policies and programs and assist in the implementation of school priorities. 
The focus of a range 1 Classroom Teacher is on classroom management, subject content and teaching practice.  New entrants to the teaching profession in their initial teaching years receive structured support, mentoring and guidance from teachers at higher levels.

Under guidance, new entrants to the teaching profession will plan and teach student groups in one or more subjects and are expected to participate in induction programs and other professional learning activities that are designed to ensure the integration of curriculum, assessment and pedagogy across the school.

Teachers at range 1 are responsible for teaching their own classes and may also assist and participate in policy development, project teams and the organisation of co-curricular activities.

Selection Criteria: 

SC1    Demonstrated knowledge of the relevant curriculum, including the ability to incorporate the teaching of literacy and numeracy skills. Demonstrated experience in responding to student learning needs.

SC2    Demonstrated experience in planning for and implementing high impact teaching strategies, guided by how students learn, and evaluating the impact of learning and teaching programs on student learning growth.
