Location Profile

Warrnambool West PS is located in the rural city of Warrnambool. We are in an established residential setting on a hilltop overlooking the western end of the city and is set on spacious grounds with well-established gardens. It has a current enrolment of 136 students with a staff of 10.5 EFT (Equivalent Full Time). This includes 2 Principal Class Officers and 6.5 EFT ES (Education Support) staff. A Warrnambool City Council Kindergarten is co-located on site and opened in 2014.

Warrnambool West PS sees learning and student wellbeing as its core business and provides rich opportunities for learning and encouragement, and support for each student and teacher to reach their full potential. Warrnambool West Primary School promotes a learning environment where students are happy, inspired and curious and where high exceptions, authentic learning experiences and individual academic growth are paramount.

A culture of collaboration is well supported by Professional Learning Communities where student data is used in a timely and efficient manner to inform decision making for teaching and learning. The student is at the centre of each and every decision made in the school and these decisions are made by consensus with staff and students involved.

Our 1:1 iPad/notebook program allows teachers and students to use the latest learning technologies for communication, personal learning and collaboration. Our AIP has a strong focus on Excellence in Teaching and Learning and through the use of our Equity funding resourcing, small class sizes and point of need teaching are a central aspect of our teaching and learning programs.

The school community embraces diversity and culture and provides the students with a safe and a supportive learning environment. Warrnambool West Primary School aims to engage all staff, students and families in working together as a learning community dedicated to active participation and positive expectations for all students. Assemblies, Newsletters and our Social Network continually focus on and celebrate student achievement and the school has an open door policy for families to become involved. Community events such as Breakfast Club, sporting days and family BBQ¿s are well attended.

SC2  Demonstrated capacity to work and collaborate with others in a team environment.

SC3  Demonstrated capacity to communicate effectively in a team environment, including high level oral and written communication skills.

SC4  Possess the technical knowledge and expertise relevant to the position.

SC5  Demonstrated capacity to provide advice and support to management and other school staff in respect to the work area.

SC6  A commitment to professional learning and growth for both self and others.

Role

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.
