Location Profile
Wulerrp Secondary College, opened at the end of January in 2025 to 220 Year 7 students and we will have a similar enrolment projected for Year 7 in 2026. Each year we will add an additional year level with an expected enrolment of 1600 in 2030 when Year 12 students begin.
The school is approximately 50 kilometres from Melbourne based in an area of rapidly growing new housing estates incorporating green spaces. Our school grounds are close to planned parklands and sporting facilities, and we are surrounded by a supportive community. Most students who attend our school live locally and tend to be dropped off by parents, walk or ride their bike to school.
We have brand new buildings: Junior School Building, Library, STEM Centre and Gymnasium with state-of-the-art facilities. Stage 2 building of the Senior School will take place in 2027.
Our school is culturally diverse with 60% of students speaking a language other than English at home, the most common languages being Punjabi and Sinhalese.
We are proud to know that our school community is diverse and inclusive; a thriving and harmonious school where all belong. We provide a nurturing and challenging environment to continue to develop students' passion for learning, empowering them to be life-long learners to achieve their best in their academic, social/emotional and vocational learning.
In 2026 we will have approximately 55 staff members, 32 teaching staff, 18 education support staff, wellbeing staff and school leadership staff. We have a very supportive culture where staff work collaboratively to document curriculum and assessment with a collective focus on student learning. We are developing our school's Instructional Model and Instructional Practice based on the department's Victorian Teaching and Learning Model.
We focus on providing opportunities for our staff to develop their leadership capabilities. As we grow in numbers and year levels, more leadership positions will become available in the school. We have a mentorship program for graduates and coaching will be available to all staff.

Role
Full time attendance Monday to Friday 8am - 4pm.
An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction. This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3).
A role at this range may include:
Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.
Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples.
An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are clear, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialised student/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.
