A Business Manager role will usually undertake tasks that impact on the whole school. The role seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, finance or human resources.
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.
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 in matters relating to the school finance, human resources or school administration.

We are looking for a highly capable Business Manager to join the team at Kilsyth PS. The time fraction associated with this position can be negotiable upon appointment.
Kilsyth Primary School is located in a quiet residential area of the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Established in 1910, the school site incorporates modern classrooms, playgrounds and a sports oval with manicured gardens, a frog bog and native bushland zones. There is easy access to public transport, and Elizabeth Bridge Reserve, Churinga Shopping Centre and Kilsyth Sports Centre are all within easy walking distance.
The school's population reflects the characteristics of the local Kilsyth community. Parents and teachers work in an educational partnership to support each child's learning needs. Parent involvement in the many aspects of school life is highly valued, both in the classroom and through our working bees and fundraising activities, and demonstrates a strong feeling of connectedness. This sense has community grew beyond the school boundaries with the establishment of our connections program.
Our current enrolment of 112 students makes up seven grades 2025. Our Foundation students are taught as a single year level; all other classes operate in multi-age level groups.
The school buildings promote collaboration between students across class groups. Our main building contains our Senior School zone, Middle school (Years 3&4), Visual Arts room and Library. Our senior school (Years 5&6) classes are held in the recently built P21 Learning Neighbourhood, affectionately known as the BERBs. All classrooms have operable walls and the flexibility of these learning spaces allow excellent opportunities for students to develop the collaborative skills essential in the world of today.
Over recent years, there has been a clear focus on building positive relationships amongst all groups within the school community. We are currently implementing a School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) approach. We draw on Tier 1 interventions in our planning and delivering the classroom. Underpinning this approach are our school values of EXCELLENCE, RESILIENCE and RESPECT.
We specifically focus on providing high quality curriculum programs with a clear commitment to student achievement in English and Mathematics and all areas of the Victorian Curriculum. Our specialist program includes Physical Education, Science, Visual Arts. We use a Levelled Literacy Intervention approach across the school. Our sporting teams, whole school production and Wakakirri performances are flagship activities in our extra-curricular program.
The structured approach of our programs supports the explicit teaching of ICT skills. The provision of Interactive Whiteboards and Apple TVs in every learning space supports the use of cloud-based learning tools in the classroom. A mix of desktop and mobile devices (including netbooks, notebooks and iPads) throughout the school ensure ready access to ICT tools and the opportunities they provide.
Our students are active members of our school community. We have an energetic Student Representative Council, student leadership groups, environmental action groups and student-led lunchtime clubs and activities. An Outside School Hours Care program, operated by TheirCare, is located on the school site.
The school has a clearly articulated Instructional Model and SWPBS approach. Copies of documents that outline these are available upon request. Applicants are encouraged to contact the school to arrange for a copy to be emailed.
