This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

A role at this range may include:
An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.
Responsibilities may include:
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

Clayton South Primary School has been providing excellent education for our community since 1929. Situated on 3 acres, our school provides a wonderful atmosphere and space for our students to develop their academic and creative talents. We are an inclusive school with just over 100 students from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, including international enrolments.
Our school follows the Science of Learning principles, Explicit resources such as Little Learners Love Literacy, Spelling Mastery and the Orton Gillingham Approach are used to compliment high quality teaching practices. Core lessons are delivered utilising a direct instruction approach, complimented by differentiated activities for students to independently practice their skills.
Teachers work in junior and senior school teams to collaboratively plan, for collegial support and to develop the slides utilised in literacy and numeracy sessions. To further achieve Literacy and Numeracy goals for our students, teachers at CSPS are committed to meet on a weekly basis as a Professional Learning Community (PLC), to assess and analyse student performance data, and to plan for precise and personalised teaching in the classroom, and a subsequent weekly professional learning meeting.
Clayton South Primary School has a strong emphasis on improving literacy and numeracy outcomes for all students, with all planning and programs based on the Victorian Curriculum. Teachers also deliver Science, Respectful Relationships, Library and Humanities lessons, with specialist teachers delivering PE, Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Spanish lessons each week. A wide variety of programs are offered to extend and enrich student learning including camps, swimming, PMP, kitchen / garden, sporting activities, Minecraft Club, Art club, Lunchtime Library access and breakfast club.
Teachers at our school are excited about education and are constantly learning and growing. Our school shows children a caring community by working together and supporting and respecting one another. There is a strong sense of community at Clayton South Primary School.
Our school is well supported by our families and the wider community, with our Parent Opinion Survey and Student Attitudes to School Survey results always demonstrating a great overall satisfaction with our school. Being a small school, it is critical for our staff to work as a collaborative team in conjunction with our families and the wider community.
We are excited by the current election promise of a $12.45million upgrade of our main school building. We are in the first stages of this process, appointing architects which will lead us into the design phase. Adaptability from staff will be required, as workspaces may need to be shifted in the next 12 months to allow the works to take place.
