Marnebek School is a prominent dual-campus specialist school located in Cranbourne, dedicated to providing exceptional educational outcomes for students with intellectual disabilities from Foundation to Year 12. Recently, Marnebek School received a significant investment of $38.34 million from the State Government to modernize and enhance our facilities.
This substantial funding has enabled the creation of new purpose-built classroom learning environments on both campuses, alongside state-of-the-art resource spaces. These spaces now house specialized programs in STEM, Food Technology, Physical Education, Art, and Library facilities.

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