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.

Our school grounds consist of natural gardens with engaging play spaces for all ages. Students enjoy a large, lush oval, two generous basketball and netball courts, a sand pit, three separate adventure playground spaces, a rotunda, Fairy Garden and several picnic tables to sit at. A favourite space for many students is the Veggie Garden and Chicken Coop where the students are welcome to pick fruit and vegetables at their own discretion and collect any eggs to distribute to the community or use as the need arises.

Positive relationships and a genuine focus on individual wellbeing play a crucial role in how we achieve our successful learning outcomes.
Tyers Primary School seeks to create high expectations of students with a strong focus on personal learning growth. Our school prioritises academic focus alongside student wellbeing, since the one is most definitely intertwined with the other. Both of these priorities are guided by effective teaching methods which align with evidence-based practise.
Staff are committed to building positive relationships with students and are dedicated to supporting those with learning differences, providing an inclusive environment for all. Our school uses the Berry Street Education Model and the Zones of Regulation which are proactive approaches to teaching emotional regulation. These approaches are being explicitly taught in all grade levels and are becoming embedded into all aspects of life at Tyers Primary School.
Our school uses an Explicit Direct Instruction approach to teaching. We explicitly plan and teach to the 5 core components of Literacy: Phonological Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency and Comprehension, based on the soundest research guided by the science of reading.
Our school has an engaging specialist program with AUSLAN taught from Prep-6. Our students learn music, visual arts and PE, with opportunities to be involved in our kitchen garden and caring for the school's chickens.
Extracurricular activities are important for students to pursue their interests. They also help to foster a sense of belonging, school connectedness and school pride. Students have the opportunity to compete in a wide range of sports including, athletics, basketball, swimming, AFL, soccer and cross-country running. We also annually enter student Art work in our local Tyers Art Show Festival.
