Job description

Department of Education Victoria – Melbourne VIC

3d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

The start date for this role is flexible and can be from any time in Term 4 until the start of Term 1 2027.

Yarra Hills Secondary College is a multi-campus college of approximately 450 students across two campuses in the Mooroolbark/Kilsyth and Mount Evelyn districts of outer eastern Melbourne, and is part of the North East Victoria Region (NEVR) of DET. Yarra Hills organises its student management and administration on the basic structure of its two campuses, one of which is Year 7 - 10 and Year 11/12 VCE Vocational Major (VM) only and one which has Year 7- 10 and Year 11/12 VCE and VCE/VM educational pathways. With strong enrolments in recent years and a solid standing in the local community, Yarra Hills anticipates stability and growth in the coming years. Our programs build strong foundations that support future success by emphasising literacy, numeracy, and embedding information and communication technologies across all subjects in the curriculum. A solid core curriculum is supported by an extensive elective program that recognises the different needs and talents of students and supports individual learning and career pathways. All Year 10 students have access to participation in an extension program into VCE studies, assisting in maximising tertiary entrance scores. A broad and engaging curriculum has led to a high proportion of our students achieving successful academic pathways to university or TAFE through VCE or alternatively into vocational pathways through VET and VCE Vocational Major (VM), as well as school-based apprenticeships and training (SBATs) and the DET HeadStart Program. The college co-curricular program also includes outstanding sport, camps, performing arts, visual arts and outdoor education programs, as well as a very highly regarded instrumental music program. The school has 103.93 equivalent full-time staff: 4 Principal class, 68 Teachers and 35 Education Support Staff. As the school is multi-campus, the successful applicant may be required to work across both campuses. Please keep your Selection Criteria up to one page per criterion, only.
