Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the advertised position at Wonthaggi North Primary School. At a time of exciting growth and continuous school improvement, this is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated, dynamic professional to be part of our team.
Wonthaggi North PS is located in a large town on the Bass Coast, 128kms to the Southeast of Melbourne. The school is situated in an identified future growth area with new subdivisions planned. In 2023, we have an enrolment of 160 students. Staffing consists of 13 teaching staff, 1 Principal Class staff and 6 Education Support (ES) staff.
One of the great strengths of the school is our ability to provide a positive learning environment with a broad range of opportunities for our students. These opportunities include learning Spanish, Art, ICT and Physical Education along with: library, extra sporting opportunities, camps and excursions. We also have before and afterschool care provided by Their Care.
At Wonthaggi North PS, we value cultural diversity and pride ourselves in creating an environment where all children can find the tools to be the best versions of themselves within and beyond the school walls. We provide students with the knowledge, skills and dispositions for learning, which become strategies that they need and use in their everyday lives.
We believe that every individual student is capable of success. To help students succeed socially and emotionally, our staff are committed to delivering and modelling the Respectful Relationships Curriculum and the Zones of Regulation program across all year levels. We empower students to have pride and respect for themselves, others and the environment, and to be strong role models who show empathy and compassion for others.
To meet every student’s needs, our staff also work hard to create personalised learning spaces that allow students of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to feel safe, secure, valued and supported. Teachers deliver the curriculum through engaging lessons informed by their knowledge of each student, and encourage students to take risks that allow their learning to progress. We prioritise learning with a purpose and support students in becoming lifelong learners.
Our learners have many opportunities to develop their leadership skills in Junior School Council, Eco Warriors and the Cultural Team. Through these programmes we ensure that students voices are heard and valued, so that they learn the power of their own voice.
We teach the Sounds Write Phonics Program from Prep to Grade Six and offer additional tutoring support in Mathematics and English. We value a hands-on approach to learning and support students to develop resilience, independence, accountability for their learning and problem-solving skills through challenge.
We facilitate further personal development by encouraging students to seek, accept and utilise the constructive feedback that we provide them throughout their learning journey.
The school features a full-sized gymnasium, large outdoor play areas, covered walkways between buildings, outside classrooms, three outdoor basketball courts, a generous range of play equipment and attractive gardens. A star element of our outdoor area is the organic fruit and vegetable garden that our staff and students maintain and enjoy together.
This school is a key part of the local Wonthaggi community and is supported by several parents from the School Council and the active Parents and Friends Association.
