Location Profile

Carnegie Primary School is located in the City of Glen Eira in the South Eastern suburbs, approximately 15 kilometres from the Melbourne Central Business District. The school was founded in 1888. Carnegie Primary School 2024 enrolments are approx.590 students with 32% having English as an additional language. We have 26 classes. Our motto of Welcoming, Engaging, Achieving is at the forefront of all we do every day at CPS. `Respect¿ is the overarching value we focus on. Respecting oneself as a learner and as a unique individual, respecting others and respecting our environment at CPS and beyond the school gate. We are committed to the development of whole-school effective teaching and learning practices and conduct programs and activities that meet the highest expectations of student wellbeing and connectedness to school, to best support the children in our care. Our vision is to provide an engaging, supportive and inclusive learning environment where children can interact positively in a safe, respectful and cooperative atmosphere. We want to challenge students to be reflective, independent and life-long learners. While we celebrate our students' academic achievements, all our staff are committed to conducting programs and activities that meet the very highest expectations of student wellbeing and promote a connectedness to school. A priority is to continue to develop a whole school vision for contemporary pedagogy, focusing on personalised and scaffolded teaching and learning which is evident and consistent across the school. The 2024 staffing profile of Carnegie Primary School includes a Principal, Assistant Principal, 2 x Learning Specialists and 1 x Leading Teacher, 33 classroom and specialist teachers;12 Education Support staff (8 x classroom support and  3 x Office administration). We did not have any identifying Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander staff or students. Carnegie staff are dedicated, professional and committed to working collaboratively to ensure optimal teaching and learning opportunities for the students. The school provides a Foundation to Year 6 learning program based on the Victorian Curriculum, which is differentiated to meet student needs. Specialist programs are offered for students in Physical Education, the Arts, Music, ICT/Digital Technologies and Japanese.

Our commitment to maintaining high expectations of performance in all KLA's, but particularly literacy and numeracy, remains our focus. Our teachers plan collaboratively and teach closely together. Our aim is always to ensure the learning is personalised and catered for individuals at their point of need. We have implemented our High Achievers program in the upper school and will continue to expand this. Students funded under the PSD program are well supported by staff and Education Support Officers. Individual Learning Plans are written for all students performing 12 months below level and are implemented and reviewed in partnership with families and SSG meetings take place on a regular basis. Our staffing is currently determined to enable lower student teacher ratios during key learning times, particularly during literacy and numeracy lessons.

At Carnegie Primary School we cater well for our students by providing differentiated instruction based on assessment and knowing our students. Teachers from across all year levels recently participated in a series of professional development sessions to improve their Data Literacy skills. This supported teams in the analysis and use of assessment as well as fueling discussions around the quality of assessments used at CPS. We are proud of our efforts to implement Teaching and learning Sprints as a framework for our PLC improvement cycles.

Role

[Attendance requirement for this position]

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.
