Lyndhurst Secondary College is situated just north of Cranbourne in the south-western corner of the City of Casey ¿ one of the fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Our college has an enrolment of 789 students in 2023 and is projected to rise further. Over recent years the cultural mix of the College has changed with our student population now coming from many cultural backgrounds.
The Lyndhurst Secondary College community is committed to providing a safe, challenging and stimulating learning environment which champions individual differences, excellence, and integrity to develop open-minded citizens capable of contributing confidently and responsibly to an ever-changing world. We aim to be a progressive learning community whereby we are, `Empowering students for learning and life¿. Our core values are excellence, commitment, integrity, and respect, with an overarching belief in high expectations for all.
To meet the individual needs of our students, staff work together to collaboratively design learning. We also offer a range of flexible learning options and support programs. We also have a wide range of co-curricular programs. We believe in getting to know our students well and we use a variety of pathways and support options as just one of the ways to engage and learn more about the young people with whom we work. We understand the importance of student voice and agency in relation to school connectedness. As result, there are extensive leadership opportunities available to students across a range of areas within the College community. We also support our young people with an extensive and highly skilled Wellbeing Team, as well as connecting with a variety of community-based groups.
Presently the major focus for staff is to develop classroom pedagogy through a range of evidence-based teaching and learning strategies, to further improve outcomes for students. The objective is to teach to each student¿s point of need, regardless of where they on the learning continuum.
The current College Leadership Team profile currently consists of the Principal, four Assistant Principals, three Sub-School Leaders (aligned to Junior School 7&8, Middle School 9&10 and Senior School 11&12), three Learning Specialists (Curriculum & Pedagogy, Literacy, Numeracy) one Student Voice and Agency Leader, one Vocational and Applied Learning Leader, one Wellbeing and Inclusion Leader and the College Business Manager.

The school must enter Selection Criteria as developed by the school for Education Support positions at this level and range. Delete this statement as part of that process.
[Attendance requirement for this position]
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.
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
Applicants seeking part-time employment are encouraged to apply for any teaching service position and, if they are the successful candidate, request a reduced time fraction. Such requests will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to the operational requirements of the school.
