Location ProfileOakleigh South Primary School is an excellent school providing a comprehensive and stimulating education for all students. Our aim is to continuously improve student learning through a consistent approach to Teaching and Learning. Our core focus is on Literacy, Numeracy, Music, Sport and Sustainability.
We have high expectations of all our students and we believe that whatever we do, we do well. All teachers are expected to develop their proficiency in ICT, thinking curriculum, student engagement, wellbeing and differentiated learning.
All staff are encouraged to assist with our musical productions, sport, camps, fete and our many other extracurricular activities that support and develop the whole child.
Our projected enrolment for 2025 is approximately 1050 students with 45 classes.
Our families are from a diverse background with an increasing proportion from a language background other than English.
Our school motto is 'Together We Achieve' and our values include:
Excellence: Strive to achieve your personal best. Be persistent in everything you do - never give up.Respect: Show appreciation of and care for the school and the environment. Treat people with tolerance, acceptance, understanding and respect.Integrity: Take and accept responsibility for your own actions. Be trustworthy and honest with each other.Working Together: Actively contribute to your school.Resilience: The capacity to cope with change and bounce back during difficult times.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.
