Location Profile

Monterey Secondary College is a vibrant Years 7 to 12 government secondary school located in Frankston North, proudly serving the communities of Karingal, Skye, Carrum Downs, Seaford, Frankston and Frankston North.
As a proud partner in the Frankston North Education Plan (FNEP), Monterey is committed to transforming lives and breaking the cycle of intergenerational disadvantage. The FNEP is a long-term, place-based initiative developed in partnership with Monterey Secondary College, Mahogany Rise Primary School and Aldercourt Primary School. It supports students from birth through to further education and employment by strengthening education, health and wellbeing pathways. The plan focuses on improving student outcomes, increasing community engagement and building stronger connections between families, schools and support services.
Supported by a $26.2 million investment, the FNEP is a collaborative initiative involving the Department of Education, Frankston City Council and the Colman Foundation. Together, we are implementing a comprehensive birth-to-adulthood education model designed to create genuine, life-changing opportunities for local families.
Monterey is home to approximately 483 students and a dedicated team of around 130 staff. We are proud that approximately 12 percent of our students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and a further 13 percent receive support through Disability Inclusion Profile funding. The College is strongly committed to inclusive education, ensuring every student, regardless of background or ability, has access to the adjustments, support and opportunities needed to thrive.
The College has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, highlighted in The Age newspaper in December 2021. Once considered a school facing significant challenges, Monterey is now recognised as a model of rapid improvement and educational excellence. The College is known for its calm and focused classrooms, state-of-the-art learning facilities, award-winning teachers and an unwavering commitment to high-quality teaching and learning. Positive education strategies are embedded across the school, supporting student wellbeing alongside academic success.
Monterey is widely recognised for its dynamic student engagement programs, offering meaningful opportunities beyond the classroom. Through initiatives such as the Silvertop Sports Science Academy, STEM enrichment, music, leadership development and cultural celebrations, students are empowered to explore their interests and grow as individuals. A strong focus on wellbeing and connection ensures all students feel supported to thrive both personally and academically.
A structured and supportive transition program helps every student feel welcomed, whether they are joining from within the Frankston North Education Precinct or beyond. Individualised pathways and tailored support systems ensure the diverse learning needs of students are met, allowing each young person to progress at their own pace. Monterey is deeply committed to fostering lifelong learning, academic excellence and personal growth for every student.
Monterey is not only a school of local significance but also a recognised leader within the Victorian education system. As a leader in Trauma-Informed Positive Education, the College regularly welcomes educators from across the state seeking to learn from our innovative practices. Our staff contribute actively to system-wide improvement by sharing expertise and building professional capacity across the sector.
In collaboration with Berry Street and the University of Melbourne, Monterey has developed a trauma-informed, strengths-based educational philosophy that fosters safe, supportive and emotionally intelligent learning environments. With a strong focus on emotional regulation, resilience, relationship building and restorative practices, students are empowered to grow, lead and succeed both academically and personally.
Monterey is also a recognised leader in Vocational Education and Training (VET) across Victoria, offering industry-aligned programs that equip students with practical skills, nationally recognised certifications and real-world experience. Through robust partnerships with TAFEs, industry providers and local employers, students access a wide range of courses in sectors such as construction, health, community services, hospitality and sport. These programs support successful transitions into apprenticeships, employment and further education. Montereys VET offerings also extend to students from outside our immediate community, reflecting our reputation for excellence in vocational education.
Staff retention at Monterey is exceptionally high, particularly notable in the context of the current teacher shortage. This is a testament to the school¿s strong culture, meaningful professional support and powerful sense of shared purpose. Staff experience a collaborative and collegiate environment, supported by structured induction, ongoing coaching and sustained mentoring. Early-career teachers, experienced educators and aspiring leaders are all given opportunities to grow and thrive within a high-expectation, high-support culture that prioritises continual professional development.
Montereys strong outcomes are reflected not only in student achievement but also in feedback data. Results from the Attitudes to School Survey (AtoSS), Parent Opinion Survey and Staff Opinion Survey consistently exceed state benchmarks, demonstrating high levels of satisfaction, engagement and trust across the school community.
If you are passionate about student success, committed to inclusive and transformative education, and eager to grow your professional capacity in a supportive and innovative environment, Monterey is the place for you.
If you are interested in learning more about Montereys transformation and success and are considering joining our team, we warmly encourage you to book a tour by calling (03) 9781 7700.

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.

Responsibilities

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
