Key Strengths

Kinder, Primary and High School all together on one site.
New buildings for all classes
Close to Monash
Multicultural Community

Westall Primary School is situated on a nine hectare site shared with Westall Secondary College and Westall Language Centre Annexe, and the Westall Community Hub.

The school is located in a residential and industrial area of Clayton South.

The school buildings include newly completed facilities - 8 classroom Learning Centre, Gymnasium (STEM & Arts) and canteen facilities, and refurbished Administration.

Recently the school has entered into partnership with "Our Place" and has received DET funding for the next stage of the Westall Regeneration Project.

The multicultural nature of Westall provides many positive outcomes for the school community. Of our student population, 3% identify as Indigenous.

Approximately one third of the student population continues to be drawn from the Cambodian, Vietnamese, Chinese and South East Asian communities.

Students from India, Saudi Arabia and Africa account for another third, and students from the Pacific Islands constitute approximately 8% students in the multicultural community of Westall Primary School.

The current school enrolment is 250 which includes 20 International Students. DET and Kingston Council predict increased enrolments over the coming years.

Westall Primary School provides a progressive and dynamic teaching and learning environment through a shared pedagogical approach and a commitment to the development of all students.

The strengths of our school lie within the strong stable leadership, community and the highly professional staff who regard the needs of students as the priority.

Role:

Attendance requirement for this position-4days per week from 9.00am-3.00pm

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.
