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.

Thomastown East Primary School is located at 82 Cedar Street in the northern suburbs of Melbourne within a residential area close to extensive industrial and retail sites. The main boundaries that impact on enrolments are Dalton Road, High Street and the Western Ring road.
The current enrolment is approximately 320 students who represent numerous ethnic backgrounds. Enrolments for 2025 are expected to be above 340 students. There are a high percentage of students from a non-English speaking background and also a high percentage of students are from families that are eligible for the Education Maintenance Allowance. Our SFO is .60
We currently have a staff of 15.0 teachers including the Principal, an Assistant Principal and a Learning Specialist. Five Educational Support Officers provide support in administration and within classrooms. An Out of School Hours Care program operates before and after school throughout the school year.
Our student group changes over the period of the school year due to the fact that the school is located within a low rental zone. Therefore there is a ¿high mobility factor¿ which has a significant effect upon educational and attendance data. The changing demographic of the school continues to present a number of challenges as our enrolments, particularly at Prep level, often present with no pre-school experience. Therefore, we focus heavily on programs such as Oral Language, Mathematics and Literacy to ensure that all of our students have a concrete basis for present and future learning
We are committed to our school based literacy and numeracy programs to ensure that our students have the best opportunities to develop their numeracy and literacy skills.
Our school community supports the belief that successful education is dependent upon a quality partnership between parents, students and teachers. Thomastown East Primary School council and staff believe that every student has the ability to learn and that this best occurs in a secure, supportive and positive working environment. Parents, teachers and students work together to enable the students to reach their full potential.
The school has made a long term commitment to providing our students with the best opportunities for effective learning on a personal and collective level and improving student learning outcomes.
