Camberwell High School (CHS) started in 1941 with 350 girls and boys. Now, over 800 students learn here. Our school is proud of its rich history and is future focused. We have a diverse community of staff, students, and parents. Together, we have established shared beliefs about the qualities our learners demonstrate.
CHS provides opportunities for all to participate and achieve in the Arts, Technologies, Mathematics, Sciences, Humanities, Languages, Health and Physical Education.
"Disco Consulere Aliis" is our motto, meaning learning to be considerate of others. Our values are achievement, creativity, respect, and responsibility. We aim to develop learners who excel and have high expectations for themselves in all aspects of life. Our Vision for Learning is a key document outlining our educational vision. We focus on transformative, dynamic learning that fosters growth and positive relationships. Teachers plan together to provide varied learning opportunities, encouraging students to explore ideas deeply and take increasing responsibility for their learning as they mature.
The school's Strategic Plan lists the key areas for the school. It has specific improvement targets. The document provides a framework for the School Council. It is for the whole school community to use. It ensures that we keep improving student learning. You can also read our 2023 Annual Report. The 2024 Annual Report will be published in April.
The Annual Implementation Plan is written each year and complements the Strategic Plan. Specific targets are set each year to assist the school in working toward meeting strategic goals.
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.
