Form of workWyndham 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 1,183.
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.
Wyndham Vale Primary School has four Assistant Principals (F & 1, 2-4, 5 & 6; student welfare). Dedicated Leading Teachers work with each Assistant Principal, either as a pedagogical coach or the support of the Disability and Inclusion work within the classrooms in their own specific cohort, as well as the development and embedding of specific inclusion practices across the school. This role will initially be focused with the years 2-4 groups.
The Leading Teacher position is an ongoing teacher role with a three-year tenure as Range 3 (leading Teacher) that has the possibility of further renewal should there be a determined need. There may be a small degree of face-to-face teaching on occasion.
