Undertakes routine tasks that are usually 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.

Work has little scope for deviation. Problems can usually be solved by reference to well documented procedures and instructions and clearly established practices.  Deviation from established procedures will require reference to others for guidance and direction.  Assistance is readily available when problems arise.  An experienced employee at range 1 will exercise limited judgement within clearly defined guidelines and well established practices that relate specifically to the tasks performed.

Does not carry responsibility for the work of others.  More experienced employees will provide basic guidance and advice to others relating to tasks within the work area.

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.

Qualification requirements do not operate at range 1.  Certification requirements may be required to legally perform specific tasks - e.g. driver's licence, first aid, safe food handling.

Educational Vision

Our mission is to collaboratively generate a positive¿learning environment that challenges and supports us all to¿grow.¿¿ 

¿¿¿ 
Teaching spaces in the school allow for full implementation of a professional learning community approach. Integrated planning and delivery, reflecting on the impact of teaching practice, professional interaction and activation of student voice using evidence-based, high impact teaching strategies are all central to our educational vision.  Learning Communities are designed around modifiable spaces that accommodate multiple learning approaches and that flexibly respond to the requirements of students and teachers, creating a sense of shared ownership, inclusion and everyday learning. 

Students and teachers utilise easily accessible technology to achieve collaboration, research and creation. The school enables learners through our Academy program to investigate ideas collaboratively, encourage learners to create, refine, reflect on and publish their work, facilitating peer-to-peer teaching and engagement, and mobilising social networks for authentic inquiries or investigations.

DESIGN

Community

Commitment to Whole of Life Learning and Living
An understanding that life-long learning is most successful when it is inclusive of: children, parents, neighbourhoods, wider communities and global citizenship.  It must reflect the values, vision and aspirations of all members of the endeavour.

Opportunities to privilege seamless planning, professional interaction and student engagement in learning. Encourage quality professional learning opportunities and the conditions for capturing practice, building practice excellence, knowledge sharing and collaboration through team structures, collaborative design, planning and teaching and peer observations and feedback. All staff will contribute to the curriculum of the school and be part of professional learning teams with collaboration being the key in achieving the vision.

The school’s design and location within the Henry Road education precinct represents an opportunity to promote authentic lifelong learning.  Proximity to the neighbouring primary school, integrated child and family centre and the strong commitment from Cardinia principals to partner around curriculum design will ensure that the school is a pivotal place for community connection.  The design and intent of learning spaces will facilitate a professional learning community approach enabling educators to collaborate, implement high-impact teaching strategies and reflect on the impact on learning in a continuous improvement culture.
