We welcome passionate and imaginative educators into our learning community. We commit to supporting and valuing staff in their professional practice and growth through:* Belonging to an inclusive and multicultural community * Knowing that together we make a difference * Intellectual and practical engagement in our profession * Teaching for conceptual understanding.
Our organisational design model of one Assistant Principal and One Leading Teacher (PEGs) moving through with their cohort from year 7 through to year 12, allows for the embedding of relationships and encompasses the four pillars of:* Professional Culture * Knowing our Students * Curriculum * Pedagogy.
Staff work collaboratively in meeting time, cycling through each pillar in a directly connected sequence using the Inquiry Cycle framework. Our school has achieved Silver status in embedding the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support framework and we are currently developing an inclusive curriculum framework strongly aligned to the VTLM 2.0. At Craigieburn Secondary College we teach for Understanding and ensure that all students have access to and success in their academic and social learning. As a new member of our community, you will be supported through a structured induction program, with embedded and dedicated time release for mentoring and coaching. Being able to quickly build strong and positive relationships between staff, students, and families, is underpinned by our values of belonging and respect, and is front and centre of our practices through form teacher roles, community events and extra-curricular opportunities. On the lands of the Wurundjeri people, our community is wonderfully diverse with over fifty different language backgrounds being represented through our families and staff. We support and celebrate this diversity with a team of multicultural and integration staff, events, and performances. A significant proportion of our students experience challenges at home and are supported through breakfast and homework clubs, as well as a dedicated allied health team that includes counsellors, youth workers, mental health practitioners and a speech pathologist. Learning is supported through targeted fluency and tutoring programs, with learning partners ensuring Individual Learning Plans are developed and effectively implemented. Staff at our school have many opportunities to expand on their teaching practice through leadership responsibilities and positions that promote individual and professional growth. These opportunities are reflective of our commitment to enhancing our students' personal and educational growth in the following ways:* Student voice and agency * Applied learning * Restorative practices * Community leadership * Inclusive and differentiated teaching and learning * Reflective and evaluative practices * Enrichment and engagement programs.
2026 will see Craigieburn Secondary College continue to interweave SWPBS and VTLM 2.0 using an explicit teaching planning template. We will continue to develop our work within a multi-tiered system that encompasses Wellbeing, Behaviour and Academic supports.

[Attendance requirement for this position] An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction. This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program. 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. Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3). A role at this range may include:* Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager. * Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function. * Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction. * Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.
An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. 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.
Responsibilities may include:* Provides routine support for teachers including assisting with planning of student routines * Supports communication between teachers and parents * Communicates with teachers on routine matters related to students and/or other responsibilities * Provides basic physical care and wellbeing support for students such as toileting, meals, and lifting * Communicating with student/s to support comprehension of basic tasks and information * Addresses immediate behavioural presentations relating to specific students within a classroom setting aligned to school policy and procedure * Provides basic support and supervision for individuals or groups of up to 4 students within a classroom setting * Supports teachers in the coordination of educational programs independently or under minimal supervision, including rostering and organising the work of a team of aides, providing routine co-ordination, guidance, and support to other student support staff, liaising with external providers of support services about clearly defined support needs and resources, assisting teachers with the communication of student outcomes and educational programs * Provides medical intervention support to a student/s, under specific conditions, with appropriate training and guidance * Provides specialised communication support for students and teachers in areas such as AUSLAN and braille
