Job description

Orange Anglican Grammar School – Orange NSW

Located only three hours from Sydney and nestled in the heart of the wine and food region of Orange NSW, Orange Anglican Grammar School seeks to ensure every child's unique potential is recognised and nurtured. OAGS students are encouraged to pursue academic depth, real-world skills and personal excellence, whilst supporting the social, emotional, and spiritual growth of all students.

Established in 2007 originally under the Bathurst Diocese, OAGS was acquired by the Anglican Schools Corporation in 2013. Since this time the School has grown steadily, now with over 800 students from Pre-K to Year 12, and will reach an enrolment of approximately 1200 students over the next decade.

As part of the Anglican Schools Corporation, Orange Anglican Grammar School seeks to deliver affordable high-quality education, shaped by the Bible, to local families. The School is committed to providing excellence in education and opportunities for every individual student to succeed academically and in the cultural life of the school in the context of the School’s commitment to the teachings of the Christian faith.

About the Role

Orange Anglican Grammar School is seeking a Learning Support Officer (LSO) to play a vital role within the Learning Enrichment team, delivering holistic support to students with diverse learning needs across both Junior and Senior School environments. Working full-time under the direction of the Leader of Learning Enrichment, the LSO works flexibly across classrooms to facilitate evidence-based literacy and numeracy interventions, support curriculum adjustments, and maintain active documentation for NCCD compliance. The position collaborates closely with classroom teachers to implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and ensure students with identified learning disabilities or difficulties build essential executive functioning, time management, and task engagement skills.

Beyond academic support, the role includes working with teachers to provide social, emotional, and behavioural scaffolding to students, maintaining an inclusive and productive learning environment. The LSO utilises co-regulation, de-escalation, and grounding strategies to assist students experiencing emotional dysregulation or anxiety, helping them remain engaged without disrupting classroom focus. Additionally, the role strengthens school-wide operations by providing key feedback to teaching staff on student progress, assisting with playground supervision, and supporting whole-school events such as sports carnivals and Chapel services.

As a member of the OAGS staff, you will support the mission and objectives of the School and the Anglican Schools Corporation. This includes abiding by the Staff Code of Conduct, participating in staff devotions, and prioritising the safety and well-being of our community. Orange Anglican Grammar School is a proudly Child Safe Organisation, and all staff must comply with applicable Child Safe legislation and report any risk of harm concerns. Employment will be in accordance with the Independent Schools NSW (Support & Operational Staff) Multi Enterprise Agreement 2025.
