The NSW Department of Education provides, funds and regulates education services for NSW students from early childhood to secondary school, delivering world-class education through its public schools and providing funding support to non-government schools. We employ, develop and support teachers, leaders and other staff to deliver the best outcomes for students and to advance the wellbeing of Aboriginal people.

About the Role

School Learning Support Officers provides support for students with identified diverse learning needs including disability in classrooms and other learning environments under the direction and supervision of a teacher to support the achievement of educational outcomes. This support includes student welfare, health and wellbeing activities as required. In addition School Learning Support Officers may provide specific support for students in the following streams or settings : pre‑school, vision support, hearing support, and bilingual. Student Learning Support Officers working in these streams / settings have specific additional duties, in addition to the general duties for School Learning Support Officers that are required to be performed.

Essential Requirements

• Working with Children Check Clearance
• Completion of mandatory training required by the Department of Education and a willingness to undertake first aid training relevant to the School Learning Support Officer role.
• Administration of Medications – training to be provided based on student needs.
• Health support training to be provided based on student needs (subject to transition provisions).

Ocean Shores Public School was officially opened in 1993 following the closure / relocation of Billinudgel Public School. The school has 12 permanent classrooms so is unable to accept non‑local enrolments in mainstream classrooms. There are currently two support classes for students with autism, moderate intellectual disability or physical disability and 11 mainstream classes.

Student enrolment is currently 292 students, with 5% of students identifying as Aboriginal and / or Torres Strait Islander and 17% of students having English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL / D) and 17% of students who have a Language Background Other than English (LBOTE).

The school is supported by an active Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) who work collaboratively in partnership with the school to run fundraising events to enhance learning opportunities provided within the school. The community has high expectations in regard to academic performance and also places high value on student wellbeing, sporting, creative arts and environmental education.

The school has identified system‑negotiated target areas in reading and numeracy. We are committed to continually improving effective classroom practices with high impact professional learning for all staff being the key to ensuring this. Work will take place on developing consistency across the whole school regarding the implementation of effective evidence‑based teaching methods including formative assessment techniques. Additionally staff will be supported in developing a consistent understanding of data concepts, analysis and use of student assessment data to identify student achievements and progress to inform teaching and learning.
