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.

Warragul Regional College is a medium sized rural secondary college catering for 800 students in years 7 - 12.

The College is set on 50 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and as it is sited on one of the highest points of the township, the College is known as the School on the Hill.

Warragul Regional College has a proud history and celebrated its centenary in 2011.

The school provides a wide range of curriculum options to cater for its students. Students are encouraged to develop personalised learning with a focus on pathways, differentiation and extension. Students can choose elective subjects from year 8 onwards, with aspirations rather than age being the driver of choice. Our curriculum is informed by student choice and curriculum is developed to suit.

Students are empowered to undertake personal growth through goal setting and development of personal management skills.

Coupled with these things is our understanding of the workforce needs of local and future industry. The school is able to provide our students with access to high quality trade educational facilities and cutting-edge equipment. To further support our strategy, the school has recently completed and opened $5.3m state of the art STEAM Centre

The school is the lead for the West Gippsland Trade Training Alliance, which among its assets boasts a Trade Trading Centre delivering Vocational Education Training (VET) to our students. Access begins at year 9 and goes through to apprentice training in newly renovated facilities on the college campus. The Trade Training Centre plays a lead role in both our VCAL and VET pathways streams.

To support the rural community, students are also offered a pathway into agriculture. This utilises extensive horticultural facilities available on site. This enables hands on learning in all aspects of agriculture with a new emphasis on horticulture.

The school also provides students access to a wide range of sports with well maintained fields catering for all major sports complimented by a very well equipped gymnasium.

Warragul is 100 kilometres east of Melbourne in one of the fastest growth areas of the State. Warragul is ideally situated for water, snow and hiking activities that students can readily access. The education market is highly competitive, there are 8 secondary schools (including government and independent) with in a 20 km radius of the college.  

Our Vision

Our vision statement was developed with input from all our stakeholder groups. As such, it is a vision that reflects our collective beliefs.

“Warragul Regional College will be the school of choice for our community because we develop talents, nurture curiosity and empower individuals to follow their passion.

To do this, we will become more like a garden than a factory - we will nurture learning experiences suited to each student.

We believe that learning is growing.”

Our Values

The College has four key values (CARE):

• Community: We take care of each other
• Achievement: We strive for excellence
• Respect: We respect people and property
• Effort: We work hard

We expect all members of our learning community to demonstrate these values every day.

At Warragul Regional College we believe that `learning is growing', and that all students should progress in the growth of their learning regardless of their (individual) starting points.

We define learning as being actively involved in the process of acquiring, understanding and applying knowledge and skills.

We believe that good learners:

• show passion and motivation
• practice and persist
• challenge themselves and explore possibilities
• reflect and evaluate
• learn with and learn from others
