These teachers teach a range of students/classes and are accountable for the effective delivery of their programs. Range 1 classroom teachers are skilled teachers who operate under general direction within clear guidelines following established work practices and documented priorities and may have responsibility for the supervision and training of one or more student teachers.
At range 1, teachers participate in the development of school policies and programs and assist in the implementation of school priorities.

Buninyong Primary School is a multi-campus school comprising sites at Buninyong, a semi-rural town located 15 kilometres south of Ballarat, and Scotsburn, a small rural settlement 6 kilometres further south on the Midland Highway. The original schools, established in 1873 and 1879 respectively, were successfully amalgamated in 1994. While enjoying the benefits of easy access to Ballarat and close proximity to Mt. Clear College and the University of Ballarat, Buninyong Primary School retains the unique and friendly sense of community associated with a small town. Current enrolment is 594, with 34 at Scotsburn and 560 at Buninyong.
The school maintains a strong sense of community and there is a very high level of parental support and involvement. The school is closely connected to the broader Buninyong and Scotsburn communities.
The school offers every student a comprehensive seven year sequential program in all key learning areas. There are 25 classes running at the Buninyong Campus and 2 at the Scotsburn Campus. Collaboration is a focus at our school, with each teacher working in planning teams that have common release time each week. A whole school approach to the delivery of programs is a priority and provides a seamless transition from year to year for our students. A rich curriculum includes specialist programs in Art, Music, Physical Education, Japanese & STEM.
Being a large school, we are able to provide students with a broad range of extra-curricula activities, including debating, leadership roles, camps, choirs, sporting competitions, concerts, fetes, Energy Breakthrough and performing arts events (eg, Victorian State School Spectacular). The school has a strong history in terms of the use of learning technologies as a means of engaging students and promoting learning. Students in grades 3-6 are part of a 1:1 iPad program and our Prep to grade 2 classes have a bank of iPads to share. We have an electronic smartboard or interactive TV in every classroom. An Outside of School Hours Program operates before and after school each day in the gym which is run by the school.
Facilities wise, we are well-equipped with the vast majority of our buildings being permanent. We have designated spaces for Music, Art, Library, PE, Japanese and STEM. We have worked hard on our playgrounds in recent years and have created play spaces that are functional, interesting and cater for a wide variety of play options. As such, our yard at break times is full of action and is enjoyed by our students. Both school sites continue to be developed with particular attention to sustainability.
We believe that all students can and will learn effectively and grow in confidence and self-esteem as they achieve success in curriculum areas, acquire decision making and problem solving skills and learn to operate effectively as members of a team. Students are encouraged in the pursuit of excellence and everyone¿s talents and contributions are recognised and valued equally. Our school provides a supportive, flexible, caring and positive environment in which all children are treated with respect. Our high expectations of students, both academically and behaviourally, encourage them to achieve their full potential, developing skills which will enable them to adapt in a changing world and make a positive contribution to society. The school values of Respect, Responsibility and Kind guide behavioural expectations for everyone involved in our school.
Buninyong Primary School is committed to being a `Child Safe¿ school with and expectation that all staff commit to our Child Safe policy and Child Safe Code of Conduct. Appropriate rigorous reference and background checking will be undertaken for this selection process, including a Working with Children Check and police record and identity check.
