Administration - Accounts Receivable

Dromana College is located on the Mornington Peninsula, approximately 85km south of Melbourne. The college has a student population of 1850. Students are bussed in from all parts of the Mornington Peninsula with more than 20 primary schools providing Year 7 students each year.

 The college has a Student Family Occupation index (SFOE) of 0.46 and an SFO of 0.54,  which reflects a broad range of socio-economic backgrounds within the student population. Almost all students come from families of an English speaking background.

 Dromana College has worked extremely hard to establish itself as an educator of choice within the local area.  Our College is committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all our students. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and orderly environment and on maintaining a culture where students willingly embrace our clearly defined values of respect, responsibility, integrity and personal best. Building an outstanding learning and teaching program upon these foundations has then become the ongoing focus of the college.

 Literacy and Numeracy skills are whole school priorities and our commitment to developing these skills within all Learning Domains and subjects are shared by all staff members across the college. Dromana College is also committed to ensuring that all students are able to access ICT on a 1:1 basis, through our Notebook program.

 The Year 7/8 program focusses on building students core skills and providing them with broad access to all eight Learning Domains. Year 7/8 also has a strong Pastoral Care program that focusses on developing strong positive relationships between students and their peers, between teachers and students and between our teaching staff and the parent and wider school community. Year 7 students and their team of teachers make use of an exclusive Year 7 area that ensures the transition into the college is student focussed, supportive and positive.

 In Year 9 the program is focussed both on continuing to develop students¿ core skills and on providing students with choice over their learning. The Year 9 program includes single gender English and Maths classes that have proven to be very successful. The Year 9 program includes a combination of core and elective subjects that align strongly with Senior Schools Pathways and also builds links with the local community.

 Within the Senior School students are able to access a broad range of Year 10 and VCE electives. Year 10 students are strongly encouraged to access VCE Unit 1 and 2 electives, whilst the Year 11 and 12 VCE and Vocational Major Programs cater to a broad range of pathways to ensure the individual needs of all students are met. VET Programs are available for students to access in Year 10, 11 and 12.

 In recent years the College infrastructure has undergone significant development to cater to the increasing student population. The development of a state of the art Design Centre and Language Centre as well as the installation of multipurpose courts, playground equipment and the upgrading of the college environment has had a positive impact on our ability to meet student learning needs and on the culture of the college.

 Dromana College also prides itself on our relationships with external stakeholders and the extra curricula opportunities we afford our students. Partnerships with local organisations such as Monash University and feeder Primary Schools and the opportunities for students to participate in enhancement programs are integral to our success as an educational provider.  The College has a thriving Arts Program that gives students the opportunity to participate in various productions, College Musicals, Art and Fashion Exhibitions and Music and Dance Programs. Likewise the Sport Program offers all of the traditional inter-school sport options as well as specialised offerings in the areas of Basketball (in partnership with the Southern Peninsula Basketball Association), Cycling, Sailing and Athletics. An extensive camp and excursion program including: Japanese and Indonesian homestays and language tours, Outdoor Education and subject specific camps that further enhance the educational experience and the holistic development of our students.

 Of course quality teaching staff is the most important factor in any classroom. Dromana College has an excellent reputation for attracting and retaining motivated and committed staff and for developing staff and facilitating collaborative work practices to ensure that the needs of all Dromana College students are fully met.

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.
