Location Profile
The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School is one of four selective entry high schools for high ability learners in Victoria, catering for 1200 young people in Years 9-12.
Situated in a central city location adjacent to the Albert Park Lake, the school offers outstanding facilities for the delivery of its programs and is attended by students from metropolitan Melbourne and beyond.
The selective nature of entry results in a broad socio-economic and cultural mix of students with a strong commitment to academic excellence. The school provides an educational experience that equips girls and gender diverse young people for tertiary study and leadership roles in a range of fields and industries, and develops interests and skills to enhance their personal lives.
COMMUNITY
We are an inclusive community built on positive relationships and a strong sense of belonging. We value diversity and appreciate those around us for their similarities and differences. We are internationally-minded and value our place in our local and global context.
GROWTH
We seek challenges in order to grow, and are resilient in the face of adversity. We are curious, collaborative, and passionate about learning. We celebrate success and aspire to be our best selves in all aspects of life.
RESPONSIBILITY
We are agents in our own learning, and we foster leadership through action. We take responsibility for ourselves and each other, and we contribute to school life and our broader communities.
COMPASSION
We are interested in the lives and perspectives of others. We value every member of our school and wider communities. We treat people with respect and offer support to those who need it.
The school's highly successful alumnae, The Palladians, continue to be strong supporters of the school offering a range of enrichment and leadership programmes for our students.
We have an outstanding, collaborative and stable staffing profile who support a values driven culture. Staff wellbeing (alongside student wellbeing) is a priority for the school.

Role
Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field. It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.
Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved. This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility. Staff management issues will be resolved with minimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases. Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.
This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered. Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.
An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee's position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
