Established in 1911, our Prep-6 school has a proud history and strong connections with local families and the wider farming community. As a small school, we provide a supportive and personalised learning environment where every student is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their potential.

Our teaching practices align with Victorian Department of Education priorities, including the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 (VTLM 2.0).

Our motto, 'A School & Community Together,' reflects the strong partnerships we value between students, families, staff and our local community. Working at Nanneella Estate Primary School provides an opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of students while becoming part of a small, dedicated and supportive school community where relationships matter.

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, their 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.

Responsibilities

• 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;
• Undertaking other classroom teaching related and organisational duties as determined by the School Principal;
• Participating in activities such as parent/teacher meetings; staff meetings; camps and excursions;
• Undertaking other non-teaching supervisory duties.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates are strongly encouraged to apply for roles within the Department.

Child Safe Standards

Victorian government schools are child safe environments. Our schools actively promote the safety and wellbeing of all students, and all school staff are committed to protecting students from abuse or harm in the school environment, in accordance with their legal obligations including child safe standards.
