The College offers all that one would expect in a larger metropolitan school, yet has that unique friendly atmosphere typical of a rural community. Our College strives to ensure all students, regardless of ability or style of learning, are provided with the opportunity to reach their full potential in a positive, supportive and engaging learning environment.

They engage with, and contribute to, the school community and work collaboratively with families, therapists, and outside agencies to improve student outcomes. The Teacher – Education Support is supported by a Program Coordinator – Special Educational Needs.
The successful applicant will ideally use explicit teaching strategies and exhibit effective classroom management skills to enhance student learning and wellbeing. Applicants should also be flexible, have strong interpersonal and communication skills, a commitment to professional learning and a high-level of participation in collaborative team planning. They will plan, program and assess using an integrated curriculum, differentiated to meet individual student needs.
