Location Profile

Wyndham 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 1,287.

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.

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
