[Attendance requirement for this position]
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.

Merrijig Primary School is a small rural school in the Delatite Valley, metres from the Delatite River. The school has beautiful views of the Victorian High Country framed by Mt Buller and Mt Timbertop. The school is 18 kilometres from Mansfield and close to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling.
There has been a Merrijig Primary School since 1874, so we have a strong history of heritage and tradition. Descendants of some of those first students are at our school now. The school now consists of the original timber building, a recent BER building with three classrooms and a project space.
The school has a long tradition of excellence in sport including skiing, athletics, and swimming.
Many students from Merrijig Primary School have achieved academic excellence going onto tertiary study, successful careers and successful private businesses. All students have a very strong community commitment.
1999 saw the 125th anniversary of continuous education provided at Merrijig Primary School, which provided a chance to reflect on the past, and look to the future. As a small rural school we continuously celebrate our heritage, whilst ensuring we keep up with the times! 2024 saw the school celebrate 150 years of operation.
