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.
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.
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
Applicants seeking part-time employment are encouraged to apply for any teaching service position and, if they are the successful candidate, request a reduced time fraction. Such requests will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to the operational requirements of the school.

Leopold Primary School is located on the Bellarine Highway in a growing township which overlooks the City of Geelong. The picturesque and panoramic views gained from the school grounds of the City of Geelong, Corio Bay and the You Yangs, provides a physical connection to our environment and often lifts our spirits. Our school is bound by a growing residential sector which is proving attractive to families with children.
Our school is the only school within Leopold and our staff and school council recognise the responsibility and privilege that radiates from this. The respect of the Leopold and educational community is never taken for granted and is intensely sought, which when gained, is honoured and deeply valued.
Currently we have 881 students enrolled within 39 classrooms. Our robust enrolment is an educational advantage as it provides an extensive range of opportunities for, internal professional learning, distributed leadership, the mixing of students with diverse and similar personal characteristics and the achievement of budgetary economies of scale. The school provides specialist programs in Health and Physical Education, Music, STEM, Visual Art, Cultural Studies, Performing Arts, Reading Intervention and High Abilities. We currently have a one to one iPads/netbook program in grades 3/4/5/6
Our school values strategic partnerships across the Government educational sector and beyond. We are a foundational member, and a driving force, within the Leopold Early Years Network. The network actively seeks smooth transitions between early years and school and also annually provides our local community with a number of parent information sessions. With the Community Hub on our boundary, we have many collaborative opportunities arise from this.
Our vision: At Leopold Primary School, learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and learning to live together, equips our students with knowledge, skills and the disposition to actively embrace learning, leading all to become confident contributing member of both our school and the wider community.
Motto: Learning for Life
Our mission is to create an educational space where our students can academically, socially and emotionally, `SHINE¿.
Values - Responsibility, Respect, Honesty, Kindness.
Mantra ¿ The More You Know, The More You Grow.
Leopold Primary School has a commitment to the students¿ developing a capacity to, and a love of, learning. The personalization of education within our school is defined by our four pillars of learning ¿ Learning to know, do, be and live together. Our highly capable, collaborative and energetic teaching staff is proud of the delivery of a curriculum that is individualised to the needs of each student, a curriculum that is also rich in purposeful, timely and focused feedback. Learning is viewed as a continuum (P- Yr 10) and we accordingly provide a curriculum which is individualized and rewarding. It is recognised that English and Mathematics knowledge and skills provides the basis for successful learning and as such these curriculum areas hold prime teaching time within our daily timetables. Assessment and reporting is undertaken dynamically (Online) and is highly personalised- teachers and students comment fortnightly on a completed curriculum task.
We aspire for our school to be widely acknowledged as having a rewarding and engaging social and interpersonal culture, which has been built on strong, clear and rewarding relationships. We recognise that a relational culture empowers our students¿ to absorb the knowledge, develop skills and to gain personal dispositions which will enable them to become contributing citizens within a contemporary community. Leopold Primary School employs staff that are committed to our values. We hope that you may consider joining our team.
