<p>The College invites applications from energetic, committed and suitably qualified teachers who are interested in undertaking this pastoral leadership role.</p><p>This is an ongoing teaching position starting in January 2025. The appointment to the leadership role is initially for two years.</p><p>The College is phasing in a sixth stream due to increased enrolment demand but continues to be a relatively small secondary school, where each student and staff member is known, valued and connected. </p><p>With the Year 7 Pastoral Care teachers, the Year 7 Level Leader is responsible for the care and wellbeing of students, and the policies, programs and activities that contribute to this. They work with students, staff and families to ensure a smooth transition into secondary and that everyone experiences welcome, respect, safety and a deep sense of belonging. Their work is given impetus by the College motto, <i>Love one another as I have loved you, </i>the College values, an unwavering belief in the inherent dignity of each person, and a commitment to ensuring that students have every opportunity to be the best they can be.</p><p>An understanding of Restorative Practices and/or the Berry Street Education Model would be an advantage.</p><p>Our staff are well supported through a strong collegial and collaborative staff culture; good systems for Performance Development and Coaching; well documented curriculum and teaching resources; clear whole school practices; and individual and whole school professional learning.</p><p>Postgraduate study is encouraged and the College contributes towards course fees for teachers undertaking studies. This includes 100% of course costs for study in Religious Education, Theology and areas linked to the School Improvement Plan, and 50% of costs in other areas. As Wellbeing for Learning continues to be a key focus for school improvement, postgraduate study in Wellbeing would attract full funding.</p><p>Applications from primary trained teachers interested in working in secondary would be very welcome.. </p><p> </p>
