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.

School profile
TC is a leader in innovative and progressive education. Having transformed the school from a school of last resort to a thriving community, we now have approximately 1250 students and demand outstrips supply. We continue to improve and innovate by having a clear focus on both ¿core¿ work and ¿explore¿ work. In 2023, TC was named Australian Government Secondary School of the Year, and one of our staff members was named the Australian Government Secondary School Teacher of the Year. In the same year, the school was shortlisted as a finalist in the Victorian Education Excellence Awards in the Provision for High Ability Students category.
The learning environment is not one where education is done `"to" students. Rather, learners take increasing responsibility to drive their own educational decisions and directions as they grow in age and maturity. This is done in consultation with their parents and a supportive staff community that guide the learner keep them accountable.
To acknowledge the amazing work and growth of students TC has developed a new model of assessment where students are assessed and recognised according to Expanded Measures of Success, beyond traditional measures. Students can measure their progress across a range of transferrable skills.
The school is fully compliant with the F-10 Victorian Curriculum Guidelines and the school was reviewed as having met the VRQA requirements as part of the School Review Process.
