Location ProfileSuzanne Cory High School is the only selective entry high school in the western suburbs and one of only four selective schools in the state of Victoria. The current enrolment comprises 910 students from approximately eighty different schools, with three quarters having a western suburbs address and being equal numbers from government and non-government schools. Students are of above average ability and have high aspirations and a strong commitment to their studies.
Enrolment at Suzanne Cory High School is through an entrance examination common to all four selective entry schools in Victoria. Details about this process can be found at this link.
Our mission at Suzanne Cory High School is to develop well-rounded students that excel in all areas not just academically. Our students become students of the world, and of wide and varied disciplines. This is developed through a diverse and challenging curriculum and the teaching of our core school values of respect, aspiration and contribution.
Respect: We develop students that have a respect for their learning, individuals, diversity and community (both locally and globally).
Aspiration: Our students are encouraged to aspire to be lifelong and reflective learners, achieving to the best of (and beyond) their capabilities.
Contribution: At SCHS we facilitate students to be engaged citizens who regularly and positively contribute to the local and global community around them.
Our students are encouraged to highlight their individuality. As a school we aim to foster individuality and inclusiveness via our SWPBS framework and through the development of relationships between staff and students and within the student body to create a whole learning community.
Our students graduate with strong connections to the school, their school house and the wider community. This is encouraged and developed through the range of extra-curricular activities our students participate in, including the house program, sport and music programs.
Suzanne Cory High School's educative purpose is to develop the desire and ability of students to think and learn in a multifaceted manner so that all students can become engaged citizens enabled to access future learning. We value learning that is:
Deep: Students are challenged to construct and apply new knowledge, skills and understanding to new situations. They are encouraged to form theories, find patterns and make connections in their learning. Student's critical, creative and higher order thinking skills are developed.
Challenging and accessible: We use the principles of differentiation to understand student's entry points and devise learning programs that vary in content and product to support individual student needs. The learning needs of all students are valued and content and skills to be developed are appropriate to those learning needs.
Student Centred: Students are participants in their own learning and spend the majority of their class time in active learning experiences. Links between student's interests and the taught curriculum are encouraged.
Positive: Strong peer-peer and student-teacher relationships exist. The classroom culture is productive and enjoyable with an emphasis on learning outcomes. There is an optimistic attitude and growth mindset evident in all members of the class.
The school's four-year learning program incorporates a broad based curriculum at year 9 and 10 that encourages students to maintain breadth and develop a range of thinking strategies. In years 11 and 12 students can choose to undertake the VCE or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. University Extension Studies are encouraged and supported for students in year 12 who wish to access them.
All staff appointed to Suzanne Cory High School will be expected to display exemplary professionalism and support the development of the school ethos and culture. An extensive induction program supports new staff in their first year of the school to understand the school values and processes as well as pedagogic approaches that support the needs of highly able learners.

RoleRange 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.
ResponsibilitiesProvide individual and small group tuition in target instrument/s.Promote an environment of dynamic, active and performance based instrumental learning.Support students to grow in their learning and confidence.Direct and instruct groups/ensembles in rehearsals and performances.Attend and assist with concerts and other scheduled performances.Maintain regular communication with parents and other staff.Keep accurate records of student attendance and progress.Other duties as directed by the principal when required.Who May ApplyIndividuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
