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.

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.

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

Sunbury Primary School can trace its origins to 1869 as the first school in the local area. It was relocated in 1999 to Jacksons Hill on the southern boundary of the township of Sunbury, located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of Melbourne, within the city of Hume.
The school is housed in refurbished, heritage-listed bluestone and weatherboard buildings. Children enjoy school facilities which include modern classrooms, specialist art and music facilities, library and hall. Landscaped grounds feature historically significant trees and a horticulture centre, The Patch. The playground facilities include an oval, soccer field, basketball court, passive recreation areas and play equipment including an industrial playground matched to the different physical and social stages of development. Recently, the planned capital works project was completed with a new multipurpose and STEM building and a new library, resource centre and canteen building available to students. Maintenance to the existing buildings and landscape continue to enhance the physical environment and teaching and learning experiences for our children.
Teachers work within Professional Learning Communities with a focus on improving student outcomes through collaborative practices, reflection and feedback. Within the Teaching and Learning Inquiry Cycle teams diagnose student learning needs to plan, implement and evaluate teaching responses to an identified problem of practice. PLCs at Sunbury Primary School are focused on continuous improvement by linking the learning needs of students with the professional learning and practices of teachers.
At Sunbury Primary School we believe that relationships are fundamental to the educational and social development of children and young people and that school improvement can be further supported and achieved with a genuine commitment to structure and support community conversations to develop our capacity. Partnerships with parents are highly valued with parental participation in school programs and through consultation, in order to create the best possible learning opportunities for our students. The school values are: Be curious; Be courageous; Be mindful; and Act with integrity.
