Kyneton High School is a single campus, Year 7-12 school that offers an inclusive, co-educational learning environment based on the values of Respect, Diversity, Excellence and Sustainability. Our school vision is to build a safe, caring, stimulating and sustainable learning community where students can thrive and become confident, responsible adults with the skills and knowledge to enable success in a rapidly changing world. We strive to create a learning environment that promotes student voice, agency and leadership, and inspires students to achieve their full potential.
At Kyneton High School we are a proud public school that is open to learners from all backgrounds; our commitment is that all students will be given access to an education that fosters excellence and challenges them to achieve their best learning growth. We welcome members of our school community with the assurance that they will be treated with respect and dignity, understanding that it is through partnership that we can best support our students to improve their learning and wellbeing outcomes.
Kyneton High School is located in the Macedon Ranges, 84kms north-west of Melbourne and 65kms south of Bendigo. Three quarters of the students travel to school by bus from the surrounding district and townships in the Macedon Ranges. Since 2017 there has been a significant program of capital works which has seen a substantial improvement in facilities. The latest addition of a new building in late 2023 provided facilities for Art, Science and Food Technology, as well as new general-purpose classrooms for the Middle Years. Concurrent works also delivered refurbished Music, Drama and Wellbeing spaces.
Our school provides access to a wide range of learning and career pathways. Not only do we offer the Victorian Curriculum for Years 7-10, and a comprehensive VCE (including Vocational Major) and VET program; we also provide flexibility in our approach to course design, catering for the individual needs of our students. We achieve excellent exit destination results with most students having positive pathways to either University, TAFE, apprenticeships or employment. The school¿s enrolment has grown steadily in recent years and will be around 650 in 2026. Enrolments are expected to stabilise at around 680 students from 2027. The overall socio-economic profile, based on the Student Family Occupation and Education Index which takes parents¿ occupation and education into account, places the school in the low-medium range.
The school¿s staffing profile is made up of a Principal, Assistant Principal, five Lead Teachers, Three Learning Specialists and 58 other teaching staff. Teaching staff are supported by 29 educational support staff resulting in a total FTE staffing of 79.2.
Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.
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.
The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. 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, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.
This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
