Seymour College is a vibrant school located one hour from Melbourne that is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment across the three sectors of education, primary, secondary and special education. With access to modern facilities, we offer teachers the space and opportunity to create exciting teaching and learning experiences for their students. All of our teachers, from early career graduates through to Leading Teachers, are provided with support and opportunities, with all having access to leadership opportunities, induction, mentoring and coaching.
The College encourages collaboration with the students, as well as their parents and carers throughout their learning. As part of our commitment to life-long learning, we offer a full VCE Program incorporating Vocational Major, VET and have implemented the new Vocational Major and Vocational Pathway Certificate and offer comprehensive careers and pathways planning for all students. Our commitment to student success is reflected in our NAPLAN data, which shows significant student learning growth from Years 3 to Year 9. This carries on into VCE, with our VCE outcomes sitting above many schools in our area.
The College prides itself on being a hub for the Seymour community in our education and wellbeing services from birth to graduation. This includes a co-located Family and Children¿s Centre with kindergarten and maternal and child health services on site. The college is also involved in a ten-year partnership with the Colman Education Foundation, Kids First Australia, Mitchell Shire Council, Department of Family, Fairness and Housing to implement the `Our Place¿ approach.

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.
