**Job Description**
Department of Education Victoria – Sale VIC is a vibrant regional centre nestled between the Ninety-Mile Beach and the Great Dividing Range. With a population of around 15,000, it is a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts who love the mountains, rivers or the coast, and the diverse lifestyles they offer.
Sale College aims to be known as a compassionate community that includes staff, students, parents and guardians. Their mission is to provide outstanding programmes and services designed to nurture confident students capable of realising their potential and becoming valued members of the society.
Their vision is to be an educational leader that is highly effective and strives to deliver exceptional outcomes in student achievement, personal attributes and qualities as learners. They are committed to instilling three core values (respect, achievement and belonging) in students, enabling them to become valued members of the society.
The college has two campuses: the Macalister Campus, centrally located in Sale's business district, hosts all Year 10 and VCE students; the Guthridge Campus, situated three kilometres east of the town centre on a seven-hectare site, caters to students from Years 7-9.
Their curriculum aligns with the Victorian Curriculum, Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and VCE Vocational Major (VM). For students at Years 7-9, they run highly successful Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) programmes, Literacy and Numeracy Interventions and a structured Year 7 and 8 programme.
In Year 9, students participate in a Personal Learning programme. At senior level, students access a broad, comprehensive curriculum with pathways to employment, further education and tertiary entrance through the VCE and Applied Learning programme.
They operate a Vocational Education & Training (VET) programme in conjunction with Federation Training and other Aboriginal-based Registered Training Organisations. Students benefit from a 1:1 netbook programme and have access to a wide range of extracurricular activities, including a highly regarded Instrumental Music programme.
The college adopts a team-based approach to student learning and wellbeing from Years 7-12. Learning Team Leaders collaborate with groups of staff within these teams to build strong relationships with students and gain a deep understanding of student needs.
To ensure a safe, supportive and secure environment, they employ an effective network of programmes and organisational structures. Student management plans focus on positive reinforcement, clearly defined expectations and consequences that encourage students to take responsibility for their actions.
This is achieved through a restorative practice approach and School Wide Positive Support.
