Location Profile

A fabulous opportunity exists for an Education Support Officer to join our school team. The role includes the provision of Tier 2 and 3 supports for students with diverse needs in the primary school setting.

Nearnung Primary School opened for the first time in January 2023, and we encourage interested staff to come and join us, as we continue to establish our wonderful new school!

Our school is experiencing incredible success in relation to student learning and wellbeing, and we enjoy wonderfully positive community support. Our staff are thriving, knowing they are supported to teach, to lead and to achieve!

Our disability inclusion focus is well developed, and our students are thriving! Embracing the values of connection, inclusion, endeavour and care, our teaching and learning team deliver programs that cater for each student's unique needs, ensuring learning is personalised and encouraging student agency.

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) features at our school, along with programs that support positive student wellbeing and our commitment to the delivery of high-quality curriculum. Our students demonstrate exemplary behaviour and consistently work to achieve their very best.

Our school facilities are incredible and include: an administration building with a beautiful library, staff offices and amenities; two learning neighbourhood buildings with general purpose classrooms, and flexible and collaborative teaching spaces; a specialist learning neighbourhood building for subjects such as food technology and science; a community hub with a competition-grade gymnasium, canteen, music and drama space; two outdoor hardcourts and a sports field. The school offers Outside School Hours Care for families of students who attend the school.

The role includes the provision of Tier 3 supports for students with diverse needs in the primary school setting. The successful applicant will be a teacher who values working and collaborating in teams, to deliver the very best programs for our students. All staff are supported by a robust professional learning program that meets both whole school and individual staff needs and interests.

OUR VISION is the provision of a vibrant, inclusive school with purposeful community partnerships, providing personalised and relevant opportunities for all students to reach their potential and have a voice and choice in their learning and pathway.

OUR MISSION is to actively engage with the school community and share responsibility for empowering one another in the delivery of deliberate practices that maximise student engagement, achievement and wellbeing. Information and communication technology is embedded within our program delivery, providing a voice, choice and/or solution to potential barriers faced by students.

We promote the principles of inclusive education and support personalised learning by embedding the Universal Design for Learning principles and practices in school curriculum planning. We ensure teaching is targeted, consistent and specific, delivered within a tiered response model. Our students are thriving!

WE VALUE connection, inclusion, endeavour and care. We make a deliberate choice to focus on positive learning and healthy relationships, respecting ourselves, our school and each other, and understand that our attitudes and actions have an impact on the people around us. We celebrate and champion everyone to be their whole and most authentic selves. We focus on our goals, give effort and celebrate success. We model and demonstrate kindness and take every opportunity to help others.

All members of the school community are encouraged to be actively involved in the learning partnership to enable children to reach their potential at school and our school teams will contribute significantly to the quality of learning and the smooth operation of the school.
