AddressRed Cliffs Primary School was established in 1924. It is one of 21 schools in the Sunraysia area of the North Western Victoria region. It is the largest primary school in the Red Cliffs township.
Red Cliffs Primary offers a comprehensive education for its Prep-Year 6 student. Red Cliffs Primary school has 21.19 EFT staff - 1 Principal, 12 Teachers and 10 Education Support Staff.
We aim to develop a successful partnership between students, parents and staff to help all students realise their potential.
Students are encouraged to "Do Better Today than Yesterday", take pride in their work, show respect for fellow students, staff and parents and develop self-discipline practices which foster self-esteem, self-confidence and tolerance. The development of high-level speaking and listening skills remains a priority. Friendly, sincere communication with others is a goal for all.
The school places great emphasis on the acquisition of strong literacy and numeracy skills. The development of the whole child is an ongoing focus. Our classrooms are calm and focused. High expectations for student attitude, behaviour and achievement are explicitly articulated to the entire school community. Non-attendance is monitored daily and is a shared responsibility with the Student Welfare Officer, teachers and parents. Parents are contacted when students are away and the school is not informed of the reasons for their absence.
Red Cliffs Primary School provides its students with a friendly, safe attractive and stimulating learning environment. Our classrooms are modern and spacious. We provide access to state-of-the area I.T. equipment - including student netbooks for every child in Year 5 and 6, class sets of iPads in the infant area, a modern computer lab and Interactive White Boards in each classroom. We provide Filipino LOTE, art and science classes and have a successful Out of School Hours Care program.

Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.
Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.
This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
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.
Hours are flexible and the time fraction may be reduced to suit the suitable applicant.
