Role
We are seeking someone who has knowledge in CASES21, Compass and First Aid.
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
- Provide routine clerical or other administrative support responsibilities including general telephone, front office enquiries, mail deliveries, assisting with stock control, supporting organisation of meetings, receiving and initial processing of standard paperwork
- Maintain, enter and retrieve data from the schools IT systems, such as the school's records system, including computerised student, staff and school records
- Maintain and update office records, enrolment data, diary records, and basic written records
- Support or coordinate the preparation of standard routine internal and external communication according to school procedures (e.g. form letters, newsletters)

- In consultation with the principal, determine and manage work priorities within the school office

Location Profile
Mooroolbark East Primary School, situated in Taylor Road Mooroolbark, was established in 1972. The school is set in a peaceful environment of natural, landscaped grounds and spacious sporting areas.
The school generally draws children from approximately within a kilometre radius from the school but there are a significant number of children who come from the surrounding suburbs of Mt Evelyn, Lilydale, Montrose, Kilsyth and Croydon.
The student population of 552 children in 2026 comes from a diverse socio-economic background.
Mooroolbark East Primary School operates within a structure of straight grades with composite classes where necessary. Teachers work in teams for planning, organisation and program implementation. The school also has a strong emphasis on catering for the individual needs of every student.
In addition to the core programs Mooroolbark East Primary School offers and encourages participation in a diverse range of extracurricular activities including competitions, environmental groups and various sporting events such as Hooptime, Cross Country, Athletics and Interschool Sport. Students have the opportunity to participate in keyboard and singing lessons. The school offers Before School and After School Care programs.
We have two sister schools in China and are heavily involved in sister school relationships. . Mandarin is the schools¿ language.
Our school is well supported by an enthusiastic community, an effective School Council and committees which successfully co-ordinate a range of community and fundraising activities. In acknowledging that a team of students, staff and parents working together produces the best educational outcomes, the school strongly encourages parent participation in many capacities. Parents participate in fundraising events, work voluntarily in varied facets of school life, and contribute directly to learning programs such as literacy, numeracy, sport and excursions. A strong partnership between home and school encourages school community members to work together to provide an education facility of quality for Mooroolbark East Primary School.
Our school sees the education process as a joint responsibility between the school and the family and we have developed a distinctive community ethos. Staff work with parents to promote all aspects of children¿s development in an atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect. This is reflected in the school values of Kindness, Respect, Resilience and Growth. ILP¿s and SSG¿s are a significant feature of teaching planning and focus.
While recognising our student¿s individuality we believe that they too, must accept responsibility when exercising their personal rights and not infringe on the rights of others. We recognise the need for students to cope socially and emotionally in an ever-changing society and this philosophy underpins many aspects of the school program. Social skills are explicitly taught, and a psychologist is employed several days per week.
All children are encouraged to develop to their optimum potential, and we are committed to making provision for individual differences. Emphasis is also placed on those skills which will enable students to be flexible and open-minded to new developments.
We provide a quality education for all students and encourage children to strive, always to achieve success. We believe all students can achieve given sufficient time and support.
