Great Ryrie Primary School was built in 1998 as a result of the amalgamation of three small, local schools. In 2004 the school was further extended after the closure of the adjacent Heathmont College site. Our school is located approximately 20 kilometres east of the CBD. Our students are catered for at their individual point of need in classes by age across all years.
In 2024 school our enrolment is approximately 560 students representing approximately 400 families. We have 57 full-time and part-time staff, including two Assistant Principals, three office staff including a First Aid Officer, a part-time Wellbeing Coordinator, a part-time High Abilities teacher, a part-time EAL teacher, Multicultural Educational Aide, Integration Aides, a Canteen Manager, and a part-time Library Technician. The school also has the services of a School Chaplain.
The student population includes approximately 130 students from other countries, many of whom have a refugee background. Accordingly our school is culturally diverse with 35% of families having a Language Background Other Than English (LBOTE), with the largest LBOTE groups being Burmese (representing several distinct dialects), Chinese and Indian. The school also has four Koorie families enrolled.
Great Ryrie has a Student Family Occupation index of 0.364 which indicates that we are in the medium SFO percentile range and that overall our school is of medium socio-economic status. Approximately 30% of the school community receive CSEF. However, Great Ryrie has a diverse social demographic, ranging from families where one or both parents are relatively high-income earning professionals or business owners, to low income, single parent families.
Our school has a strong reputation in the local community and we celebrate the cultural diversity of our families, while providing quality learning programs in all curriculum areas. We also offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities including extensive Performing Arts and Sports programs as well as Chess, Tennis and other special interest programs. Student wellbeing is given a high priority and we offer many programs designed to support students over a range of issues, as well as a comprehensive suite of student leadership programs.
The new Victorian Curriculum provides the basis of the school curriculum program, within an integrated model designed to maximise student engagement. Teachers work in teams to plan and deliver curriculum that caters for the individual needs of students in multi-age classes. Each student has their own Individual Learning Plan (ILP) developed through collaborative processes involving the student, parents and teacher. We have specialist facilities with dedicated specialist staff teaching programs in Sport and Physical Education, Science and Technology, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Indonesian.
Great Ryrie has an attractive, safe and stimulating learning environment, enhanced by relatively new and well-maintained facilities and extensive grounds. The school is well resourced in IT, including interactive whiteboards and a bank of laptops in every classroom.
Partnerships between parents and staff are encouraged and parents are involved as classroom helpers, in student conferences, school committees, fundraising and social activities. The work of the School Council and the parent community is evident throughout the school in improved programs, facilities and equipment for students and teachers. A large number of enthusiastic parents and community members provide many hours of voluntary work to support student learning and the smooth running of the school.
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:
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.
