Speech Pathologist .4 FTE Negotiable - Commence January 2025Maffra Secondary College is a regional college which caters for students in Years 7-12. Maffra is located two and half hours from Melbourne but within one hour's drive of both the sea and mountains. Our enrolments sit at approximately 540 and a majority of our students travel to and from our school by bus from neighbouring towns. This number of students makes it small enough to allow positive relationships to be formed, but large enough to provide a wide range of options for our students. Our Strategic Plan goals are to improve student learning, student engagement and student wellbeing.
Maffra Secondary College provides learning and leadership opportunities for all students both within the school and the wider community. There is a focus on providing a positive learning environment where all individuals are accepted, inspired and empowered to succeed. We want our students to be actively involved in their learning and through student voice and agency, contribute to not only the development of the curriculum but also to improving the school environment and working with neighbouring cluster schools and the local community.
In 2021 we launched the new school values to the students and to the school community after a review in 2020. Our College values Respect, Learning, Community and Resilience guide and underpin our high expectations of behaviour for staff, students, and our parent/caregiver community and we always strive to achieve the highest standard possible in these areas.
In 2022 we launched the new Explicit Instructional Model (EIM) for staff. Our student leadership team is currently developing a student responsibilities for learning model to align to this. This year all staff are undertaking professional learning focused on EIM, the Science of Learning and we have an explicit focus on the consistent implementation of our SWPBS Framework. These are key outcomes from our school review conducted in Term 4 2021. All teaching staff participate in a school wide GROWTH Coaching program where they meet with their Lead Coach fortnightly to focus on growing capacity in areas aligned to our AIP.
There is a broad range of opportunities and pathways offered at the senior school which caters for the diverse interests, needs and abilities of our student cohort. The staffing profile of Maffra Secondary College includes a principal and two assistant principals, 43 Effective Full Time (EFT) teachers, 22.87 EFT Education Support (ES) staff, including office administration staff, classroom support staff and other support staff. Our SFOE is 0.5225.
