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.

Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.

The school is a strong learning community with high expectations on teaching and learning as well as student behaviour. Students are supported by our school values of Respect, Resilience and Responsibility.
