Role 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.

Designed in 1971 on a mini-school model with a strong focus on engagement and student voice, we have retained our core values while responding to the changing needs of our community and that of the broader society. Central to our core values is the pursuit of Individual Excellence for each member of the College and this is embedded in our rich learning environment which values and supports diversity, excellence and teamwork. We foster a spirit of mutual respect and support, where every student is expected to strive to reach his or her potential. The College mission is to empower students to develop strong social, emotional and academic skills essential for all citizens in this global world and we encourage all students to participate in shaping and improving our learning environment while taking every opportunity to participate in enrichment and extension programs.

Founded on the understanding that effective schools are centred on the individual student as a learner and as a person, the vertically structured curriculum and distinct teaching teams in each of the Year 7-10 mini-schools allows enrichment at all year levels and in all learning areas. Underpinning this belief is the unique Home Group structure, which provides each student with the same teacher-mentor from Year 7 to Year 10. This supports a dynamic partnership between students, Home Group teacher and parents and provides continuity and effective monitoring of the social, emotional and academic needs of each student.

The College provides senior education for all students in a comprehensive and inclusive structure. A separate senior mini-school supports an adult approach to learning. Students complete their VCE, selecting from a variety of models on offer including a combinations with VET, Work Placements and three- year programs. This flexibility allows students to complete their VCE to their best standard while also allowing them to meet the financial and personal needs of their families and their individual circumstances. The VCE successful completion rate and the percentage of students taking up tertiary offers are above the State median.

The College enrolment has increased by 20% since 2011 and currently the College has a staff of 60 consisting of 44 EFT teachers and 16 EFT support staff. This strong growth in student numbers enables us to strengthen and broaden curriculum while sharpening our focus on each student's individual need for a strong, positive connectedness combined with personal encouragement to achieve continual growth in both knowledge and skills
Thomastown Secondary College provides a safe and friendly learning environment. There is a strong emphasis on celebrating the diversity of our community not only through our formal celebrations showcasing our pride and talents at events such as Multicultural Day but continually in our day-to-day interaction. A strong level of connectedness, student motivation and successful post school transition are all evidence of this.
