Student Records/First Aid

At Staughton College our aim is to foster a culture where students develop academically, socially and personally to become the best versions of themselves. We strive to have every student show more than a year’s learning growth every year. We believe that this is achievable with the right support, and effort, across our whole school community.

It is an expectation that staff at Staughton College develop strong relationships and trust to collaboratively improve student learning growth. Our staff are enthusiastic, passionate and relentless in using our pedagogical model to do this.

At Staughton College we work hard to ensure that students are dynamic members of our community. Student empowerment is encouraged across the school, both within the classroom and in extracurricular and leadership activities. Students are expected to be active learners who know, and use, high impact strategies to improve their learning. Through our Staughton Student Matrix we explicitly teach, and deliberately reward, key positive behaviours that improve student learning, effort and respect.

Hours of Work: 8.00am-4.06pm- subject to change

Attendance requirement up to 6 days during school vacations.

Performs and/or supervises tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice and school policy.  This may include the supervision and coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.  Supervision and coordination would be limited to ensuring routine tasks are performed to required standards.  Input into identifying training needs and development of education support class staff within the work area or educational program becomes an important feature at range 2.

Specialised support to achieve specific outcomes is a feature of range 2.  Typically this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the operation of a work area (e.g. managing the day to day operation of a school office) under the direction of the principal or another senior manager.

Provides support to teachers and students that is beyond the routine support provided at education support class Level 1, range 1.  Within an educational program assists teachers with the coordination of the support function, such as directing/organising the work of other support staff or providing a specialist support role. 

Undertakes medical intervention support tasks or other specialised student/teacher support roles that require specific training that must be updated 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.

Performs 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 laboratories would be typical examples.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor.  Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee's position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
