[Attendance requirement for this position]
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:
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.
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.

Established in 1994, Woady Yaloak Primary School emerged from the community-driven amalgamation of four rural schools in Smythesdale, Snake Valley, Scarsdale and Ross Creek, approximately 20 km southwest of Ballarat. This union brings together four historic goldfield schools.
Woady Yaloak operates as a multi-site school, offering the intimate setting of a small school with the benefits of a larger school environment. We are dedicated to unifying these four communities to foster a strong sense of belonging. At Woady, we strive to "Achieve Together".
Our single administration oversees all four campuses, with the main administration centre located in Smythesdale. Each campus has undergone rebuilds, with three featuring learning studios that open onto large spaces used for campus-wide activities, assemblies and designated areas like libraries or art spaces. All campuses boast large, attractive outdoor learning and playing areas, including 4 new playgrounds.
This year, Woady Yaloak has 16 classrooms. Specialist teachers at each campus deliver programs in areas such as L.O.T.E. (Japanese), Health & P.E., the Arts and Science. Each campus has an office-based Education Support (E.S.) staff member, with additional E.S. staff supporting various student programs across the school. One Principal and two Assistant principals work across all four campuses to support the Campus Heads.
As one school, we share common beliefs, values, and a mission. We emphasise the development of literacy and numeracy skills, along with fostering a positive sense of self-worth, tolerance, and a healthy lifestyle. This is supported by our Behaviour Education Program, with a focus on embedding the School Wide Positive Behaviour Framework.
Our staff is committed to ongoing professional learning and the sharing of best practices, at each campus and in every classroom.
