Location Profile

Thank you for showing an interest in the classroom position at Banum Warrik Primary School.

Banum Warrik Primary School is seeking a highly motivated, positive and innovative Classroom Teacher who is committed to working in collaboration with the leadership team, teaching and ES staff, students, families and the wider school community, in establishing our new school in Kalkallo.

Banum Warrik Primary School resides within the Cloverton estate in Kalkallo and is on the traditional lands of Woiwurrung People. Kalkallo is located along the Hume Freeway, 50km north of Melbourne and is part of the North-West Victoria Region (NWVR).

Banum Warrik Primary School opened in 2024 with 160 students enrolled from Foundation to Grade 6. Our predicted enrolment in 800 students. Our school is set in a wonderful part of the estate with parks, sporting fields and playgrounds all within walking distance. Most of the students who attend our school live locally. Establishing strong connections with the local community and government services is vital to ensure our school has positive relationships with all stakeholders. This includes the Kalkallo North Community centre operated by Hume City Council, which provides maternal health, playgroup, kindergarten, and other services for the community and sits adjacent to our school.

Banum Warrik Primary School has state of the art facilities with buildings designed to support the learning needs of students. The layout of the school allows staff and students the opportunity to work in calm and organised classrooms, allowing for connection and belonging. The administration building includes a library, two science/STEM rooms, a food technology room and art room. Performing Arts and canteen have their own rooms positioned within the full-size gymnasium building.

Understanding the culturally diverse needs of the community, we have approximately 70% of students with EAL backgrounds. These languages are primarily Punjabi, Hindi, and Arabic. We are proud of this diversity and celebrating this with our community is a strength of the school.

Banum Warrik Primary School's Statement of Values and School Philosophy is integral to the work we do and is the foundation of our school community.

Vision

School Motto

Mission

Banum Warrik Primary School's mission is to provide a safe, caring, and inclusive environment where individuals can achieve their full potential. We are committed to delivering high-quality educational opportunities that foster critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Objective

Banum Warrik Primary School¿s objective is to empower individuals to become responsible, compassionate, and engaged citizens, who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and values necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing world.

Values

Respect: We have Respect for ourselves, for others, and for our environment.

Resilience: We are Resilient when faced with challenges and use strategies to keep persevering.

Integrity: We always act with Integrity and do what we know is right.

Authenticity: I am true to my Authentic self and proud of who I am.

Staff at Banum Warrik Primary School employ the principles of inclusive education for all learners and implement evidence-based pedagogies to deliver the Victorian Curriculum Levels F-6 (inclusive of levels A-D) through systematic and scaffolded Science of Learning approaches. To support the implementation of FISO 2.0, we embed a tiered response to student learning that focuses on Curriculum and Academic Rigour (learning) and Wellbeing, Safety, and Care (wellbeing) at the universal (tier 1), targeted (tier 2) and individual levels (tier 3). Students are aware of their learning needs, what success looks like and their learning trajectory for improvement and growth.

We have a strong focus on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) where teams are supported to drive their own cycles of inquiry based on student data and needs. PLCs are embedded across all teaching teams, with teachers and leadership working collaboratively to address student achievement, growth and next steps for learning. Teaching and learning practices are based on Science of Learning principles, and teachers are supported to teach and assess against a knowledge rich curriculum. There is a strong emphasis on distributed leadership within all teams, focussing on leading from the `middle¿, rather than as a hierarchical, `top down¿ approach.

Staff engage in teaching Expected Behaviours linked to our school values with Diversity and Inclusion being the foundations of creating culturally responsive and safe environments. We use Restorative Practices with a Behaviour Response Framework to address unacceptable behaviours and have targeted and individual supports in place for students requiring additional assistance. All staff share in the collective responsivity for the wellbeing, safety and care of all students.

Collaboration, transparency, inclusion, and belonging is key to effectively building a school culture built on trust and respect. This promotes a culture of collective responsibility so all staff can recognise and support the individual needs of students.

Thank you.

Role

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-curricula activities.

The role of Classroom Teacher may include but is not limited to:

  • Direct teaching of groups of students and individual students;
  • Contributing to the development, implementation and evaluation of a curriculum area or other curriculum program within the school;
