Croydon Community School is a leader in the provision of education for students who are at significant risk of not completing secondary education. Factors which impact on students who enrol at Croydon CS include:

· Extended breaks in their previous education

· Profound mental health issues

· Traumatic experiences in their past and/or present

· Low learning confidence

· Deficit literacy and numeracy skills

· Deficit personal and social skills

· Diagnosed and undiagnosed disabilities

· Gender and sexual identity

These factors mean that the school¿s design and preferred way of working with students and their families/carers does not align with mainstream education, nor with everyone¿s personal philosophies. If you are not truly passionate about using a `whatever it takes¿ approach and having students at the centre of every decision you make, our school and this job are not for you. It is not fair on the young people at our school who have suffered traumas and require a very special approach, and too tough a gig for you personally if you do not have the personal strengths to match this approach.

The school assesses where necessary against the Victorian Curriculum and Senior Certificate requirements of DET and VRQA, whilst under the Big Picture Learning design at all year levels. Previous experience in a Big Picture Learning is not required, but a strong belief in Big Picture¿s 12 Distinguishers and philosophy, and an unwavering commitment to teach `One student at a time in a community of learners¿ is essential. For more information see A strong working knowledge of this model is not essential for applicants, but belief in unlimited possibilities for student growth and success, regardless of starting point, and being totally committed to doing whatever is necessary to achieve student growth in academic, personal and social learning is essential.

The school focus is to build strong, appropriate relationships with students and to develop feelings of safety and confidence within each student so that their ability to learn new things is maximised. Deep understandings and a maturity to behave professionally and with appropriate boundaries when working with students and their families/carers is essential.

Every student has an individual education plan (IEP) and an individual learning plan (ILP) written by them with assistance from teachers and consultation with family/carers every term. Assessment of learning is conducted in Exhibitions which students present to teachers and families at the end of every term. The school also explicitly teaches the Positive Education program. More information about the school can be found at our website

This position is for a person who is excited, curious, and open to learn about Big Picture Learning; working in a trauma-informed way; being open to new ways of doing school; and contributing to a positive staff team.

The successful applicant will work under the close guidance of our Leadership team. Patience and a quiet persistence are required characteristics for the successful applicant.

This position is for a person with a personal love of learning, who has hope for all young people, holds justice and fairness as essential moral beliefs, and approaches everything they do with excitement and energy. The goal is to improve every student¿s learning growth by a minimum of one year, every year, regardless of starting point and to foster students to adopt new beliefs. The successful applicant MUST be able to demonstrate a high level of emotional self-regulation and personal management practices to work daily with our marginalised and vulnerable children and young people who may have experienced complex trauma, including those who continue to experience it. One of our goals is to equip them to live beyond the restrictions that they see themselves in.

Applicants must also be able to demonstrate a consistent history of learning and a high degree of emotional intelligence.

Applicants should indicate in their responses to KSC their passions, and interests and how these will contribute to the school community.

Other relevant data to the school includes:

· Less than 5% of students live in the areas close to the school. Some travel for over an hour each way to attend.

· Currently 35% of the students are receiving additional funding under the Program for Students with Disabilities, and Disability Inclusion Program.

· Currently 20% of the students are living in Out of Home Care

· Many students have additional needs, including learning disabilities, serious mental health issues, severe behaviour disorders and severe language disorders, which will require you to adjust your teaching to ensure learning.

· Approximately half the students are neurodiverse.

· 75% of students commence significantly below expected levels in literacy and numeracy

· We are a Specialist school, NOT a special school.

· Our assessment and reporting focus is on assessing to individual learner profiles, and a Graduation Portfolio, which leads to the awarding of the International Big Picture Learning Credential, warranted by the University of Melbourne.

Selection Criteria

SC5: Sound understanding of privacy and ethical obligations in handling student health information.

Role
