Location Profile

Bellbridge Primary School opened in 1987 and is situated in the rapidly growing City of Wyndham. It has an enrolment of approximately 588 students organised into single grades with approximately 65 staff. Bellbridge Primary School is proud of its commitment to provide flexible, enriching, personalised education for all students which maximises outcomes, promotes personal growth and inspires lifelong learning. Our specialist subjects include Physical Education, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, AUSLAN and S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).

The work we do is guided by our School Strategic Plan which can be located on our school website. We maintain an equal focus on learning and wellbeing to achieve the best outcomes for our students. The key directions for current school improvement are focused on optimising learning growth for all students, empowering students to be active agents in their learning and improving the wellbeing of all students.

A guaranteed and viable curriculum is implemented in all key learning areas, which ensures a balanced and consistent approach to teaching and learning. Our staff work within a Professional Learning Community, ensuring that regular data analysis is used to drive teaching and meet individual student needs. We are an eSmart school and maintain a strong use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in all classrooms. Our school based 1:1 netbook program is in place for all students in Grades 4 to 6.

The school vision of 'Individual Paths, United Journey' provides the guiding principles which inform all policies, practices and values within the school. This vision is supported by the implementation of our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) program, which actively promotes positive behaviours in all classroom and non-classroom settings within our school. Staff and student wellbeing continues to be a key focus, supported by our involvement in The Resilience Project¿s education program. We foster inclusive practices as guided by the Disability Inclusion framework and work with external agencies to support the learning and wellbeing of our students.

We aim to maintain strong relationships amongst students, staff, parents and the wider community. We have a strong network of student leaders, including School Captains, House Captains, Peer Mediators and our Student Representative Council. Our strong Active Travel program supports partnership with a number of community organisations, including Wyndham City Council, Bicycle Network and The Salvation Army. We foster a sense of teamwork and community engagement through a range of extra-curricular activities.

Role

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.
