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.

All schools have a Child Safety Code of Conduct consistent with the department's exemplar available at:

The department's employees commit to upholding the department's Values: Responsiveness, Integrity, Impartiality, Accountability, Respect, Leadership and Human Rights. The department's Values complement each school's own values and underpin the behaviours the community expects of Victorian public sector employees, including those who work in Victorian Government Schools. Information on the department values is available at:

Our values are Respect, Integrity, Care and Compassion. Our mission is to foster in students a love of learning; to build their resilience; to enable them to approach the future with optimism; and to provide students with the skills and attitudes that will enable them to be productive and responsible global citizens.
Elwood College encourages students to pursue excellence in a culturally diverse learning environment through the development of positive, respectful and cooperative relationships. We have a high expectation that students will continue onto tertiary studies with enthusiasm and confidence. We focus on developing 'future-ready' students, equipped for life beyond school in a challenging local and global environment. Independent, inquisitive learning, and global perspectives are incorporated throughout the curriculum.
A strong and motivated Student Representative Council ensures that student voice is heard. In addition to being an active subcommittee of school council the SRC hosts a number of events each year, including a wonderful Student Talent Show.
Curriculum is designed to allow all students to participate in a wide range of purposeful learning experiences. Its structure ensures that students can build on their achievements and plan for the development of specialised skills in later years.
With the recent completion of much of our ongoing building and grounds redevelopment program, students and staff learn and teach in a sophisticated, technologically well-equipped environment to meet the 21st century educational needs of teachers and students.
We value collaboration and partnership with our families as well as with a range of community, educational, industry and government organisations both in Victoria and overseas. We encourage and support parents and families to be engaged in student curriculum activities, our school culture and environment.
Elwood College has developed a sophisticated transition process, Second Storey, with our feeder primary schools, and we are working on building stronger relationships between primary, secondary and tertiary education settings to provide students with a continuum of learning and a strong sense of community.
Global citizenship is fostered through real world contexts for learning. Our diverse student population, International Student Program and Sister City relations provide opportunities for open and sustained global communication and interactions.
