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.

At Yarram Primary School the Business Manager is expected to be an active member of the School Council.
Yarram Primary School is a vibrant primary school located in the beautiful rural landscape of Gippsland. Yarram Primary School provides a high-quality educational program focused on building productive, pro-social citizens equipped with the skills needed to navigate the evolving landscape of our world. Our vision is to support individuals to achieve their full potential - academically, emotionally and physically. Located within the township of Yarram, 220 km southeast of Melbourne in the Wellington Shire, Yarram Primary School (YPS) No. 693 was established in 1861.
At Yarram Primary School, we are STARs.
Our values are:
S - Strive (We set goals and work towards them. We embrace challenges. We keep trying when things get tough.)
T - Together (We collaborate and connect with others in our school and community. We value diverse perspectives, embracing the strength of our differences. We support and encourage others to succeed.)
A - Achieve (We set high standards for ourselves and our learning. We can all succeed. We take pride when we do well.)
R - Respect (We use kind words and actions towards ourselves and others. We take care of our environment and property. We follow expectations.)
Our school has just conducted a review of our values which involved consultation with students, staff and families to evaluate our values and make necessary revisions. Our new values and value statements reflect clear, succinct, and meaningful beliefs that include the voices of all stakeholders in our school community.
Yarram Primary School has a modern facility with beautifully designed learning spaces. Several of these areas are open learning spaces that facilitate collaboration across classrooms, where students enjoy flexible seating and have opportunities to work with peers in and out of their home groups. Our open learning spaces have built a culture where students see all teachers as "their teacher," and teachers see all students as "their student".
In 2025 our enrolment is 124 students. Students have choice, both academically and socially, while we maintain the many benefits of a close knit small school community. 48% of students travel to school by bus. YPS has 13.5 equivalent full-time staff: 2 Principal class, 7 classroom teachers, 4 specialist teachers, 1 office administration staff and 5 Education Support Staff. We have a dynamic mix of experience amongst our staff. A highly experienced and capable Education Support team work alongside our teachers to deliver timely and targeted interventions.
Students study core academic subjects as well as four specialist areas, which include physical education, visual arts, performing arts and STEM. Auslan is taught in all classrooms.
