Irymple Secondary College is a 7 to 10 middle secondary college with a reputation for curriculum excellence, enrichment and performance. We are committed to educating students for success. We believe in establishing sound foundations whilst supporting students to grow into valued members of our society.
Transition is a key Year 7 focus that aims to ensure a smooth transition from a primary to the secondary setting. Year 7 & 8 students access a rich learning environment with a broad spectrum of programs to accelerate and enrich student learning in a variety of ways. A Literacy Program supports those students requiring extra assistance. Year 8 students have the opportunity to elect subjects from a comprehensive list of choices.
At Years 9 & 10, learning pathways are strengthened through a comprehensive Core and Elective curriculum structure which allows students to develop a personally relevant academic or vocationally orientated program. The College promotes excellence through programs which offer students opportunities for enrichment and personal growth. These include core Maths, Science and English; in these core studies students elect, with advice from teachers, a level to meet their personal learning standards. Students may also select performance and artistic programs; academic challenges; sports; camps and excursions; student leadership; community service; pastoral care; work experience and structured work place learning.
Upon completion of Year 10, most ISC students move on to the Mildura Senior College, supported by a comprehensive transition program. VCE results achieved by our students have been excellent. The collaborative arrangement between our college and the senior college has significantly strengthened the ability of both colleges to focus on their respective areas of education; thus ensuring the delivery of comprehensive academic, cultural and vocational programs.

Role This position may require school holiday attendance of up to 6 days; a leave purchase allowance or time in lieu will be offered.
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 coordination 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 school's IT systems, such as the school's records system, including computerised student, staff and school records.
* Maintain and update office records, enrolment enquiries and 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. newsletters, social media, Compass).
* Coordinate the delivery of administrative services within the school in consultation with the Business Manager.
* Develop and implement strategies to ensure effective administration procedures.
* Manage client reception and office operations.
* Liaise with school staff in regard to support requirements as well as coordination of school events (e.g. photo day, open night).
* Completion of daily banking.
* Maintain the Doctors In Secondary Schools bookings and communication.
