Location Profile
Bairnsdale Secondary College is sited on Gunai-Kurnai land and has approximately 1170 students enrolled drawing on local communities. Over 60% of these students travel to school on buses.

The Student Family Occupation Density is currently 0.59 indicating that the college population is classified as low-middle socio-economic when compared to schools across Victoria. Ten percent of the school population is of indigenous descent.

The Bairnsdale Secondary College embraces its entire school community and the following values:

Respect for self
Respect for others
Respect for the environment
Be the best you can be

For staff, additional values include:

Students are the focus
Working together
Honour and celebrate diversity

Our vision is to create a learning community with a focus on improving teaching practice through ongoing performance development so that students’ outcomes improve.

There are three Learning Hubs at the College. The Hubs are named in the Gunai Kurnai language to symbolise students’ journey through the College:

Year 7 – Wargomerrin (Morning)
Year 8-9 – Wurrin (Day)
Years 10, 11 & 12 – Malgobilia (Night)

Each Hub is supported by an Assistant Principal, Leading Teachers, Coordinators, Education Support Staff, Integration Aides and Student Wellbeing team. The Malgobilia team also integrates VCAL Staff and a Careers Coordinator. This ethos enables a holistic approach to the needs of each of our students encompassing our school values and the strong link between education and wellbeing.

The College also has a satellite site providing an alternative VCAL study centre (Ngoolo) for regional youth disengaged from mainstream education provision and potentially at risk.

Role
The classroom teacher classification comprises two salary ranges- range 1 and range 2. The primary focus of the classroom teacher is on the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. The classroom teacher engages in critical reflection and inquiry in order to improve knowledge and skills to effectively engage students and improve their learning.

As the classroom teacher gains experience his or her contribution to the school program beyond the classroom increases. All classroom teachers may be required to undertake other duties in addition to their rostered teaching duties provided the responsibility is appropriate to the salary range, qualifications, training and experience of the teacher.

Classroom teacher Range 2
Range 2 classroom teachers play a significant role in assisting the school to improve student performance and educational outcomes determined by the school strategic plan and state-wide priorities and contributing to the development and implementation of school policies and priorities.

A critical component of this work will focus on increasing the knowledge base of staff within their school about student learning and high quality instruction to assist their school to define quality teacher practice.

Range 2 classroom teachers will be expected to:

Have the content knowledge and pedagogical practice to meet the diverse needs of all students
Model exemplary classroom practice and mentor/coach other teachers in the school to engage in critical reflection of their practice and to support staff to expand their capacity
Provide expert advice about the content, processes and strategies that will shape individual and school professional learning
Supervise and train one or more student teachers
Assist staff to use student data to inform teaching approaches that enable targets related to improving student learning outcomes to be achieved.

Classroom teacher Range 1
The primary focus of the range 1 classroom teacher is on further developing skills and competencies to become an effective classroom practitioner with structured support and guidance from teachers at higher levels and the planning, preparation and teaching of programs to achieve specific student outcomes. These teachers teach a range of students/classes and are accountable for the effective delivery of their programs. Range 1 classroom teachers are skilled teachers who operate under general direction within clear guidelines following established work practices and documented priorities and may have responsibility for the supervision and training of one or more student teachers.

At range 1, teachers participate in the development of school policies and programs and assist in the implementation of school priorities.

The focus of a range 1 classroom teacher is on classroom management, subject content and teaching practice. New entrants to the teaching profession in their initial teaching years receive structured support, mentoring and guidance from teachers at higher levels.

Under guidance, new entrants to the teaching profession will plan and teach student groups in one or more subjects and are expected to participate in induction programs and other professional learning activities that are designed to ensure the integration of curriculum, assessment and pedagogy across the school.

Teachers at range 1 are responsible for teaching their own classes and may also assist and participate in policy development, project teams and the organisation of co-curricular activities.

The role of classroom teacher may include but is not limited to:

Direct teaching of groups of students and individual students;
Contributing to the development, implementation and evaluation of a curriculum area or other curriculum program within the school;
