Technology Learning Area Leader

A well-regarded Catholic secondary college in Melbourne's south-east is looking for a Learning Area Leader to head up its Technology department across Design, Food and Digital Technology. You'll report to the Assistant Principal — Learning and Teaching, lead a team spanning all three streams, and shape how Technology is taught here.

·       Leading curriculum development across Design, Food and Digital Technology, including VCE Study Designs and the Victorian Curriculum

·       Building teaching capacity and pedagogy across your team

·       Using data (NAPLAN, VCE, ACER) to track and improve student outcomes

·       Managing the learning area's budget and resourcing

·       Contributing to staff selection and building out your teaching team

·       Current VIT registration (or eligible/working towards)

·       Full working rights in Australia

·       VCE teaching experience in at least one of Design, Food or Digital Technology — essential

·       Leadership or Learning Area Leader experience — desirable, not essential

·       A genuine commitment to student safety and wellbeing, and comfort working within a Catholic school's ethos and values

You might already be leading a learning area, or you might be the classroom teacher everyone assumes will end up leading one eventually. Either way, you know at least one of Design, Food or Digital Technology properly at VCE level, and you're ready to take real ownership of how it's taught and implement innovative ideas.

·       A genuine leadership opportunity across a full Technology department, not just a title

·       Backing from an Assistant Principal who's invested in the learning area's success

·       The resourcing and reputation of a well-established Catholic college

·       A leadership allowance on top of your teaching salary, in line with the CECV Multi Enterprise Agreement

·       A well-established Catholic secondary college in Melbourne's south-east

·       Strong Catholic ethos woven through college life

·       The kind of school where a genuine leadership appointment is backed, not just handed out

A leadership move is a different decision to a straight classroom change — you're not just weighing up a school, you're weighing up whether you're ready to lead people who might have been your peers a year ago. I'll talk you through what the step up actually looks like day to day, not just what's on the position description, and I'll give you an honest read on whether this particular team and school are the right fit for that step. This stays completely confidential from first contact through to appointment, which matters more at leadership level than it does for a standard classroom role. No cost to you, ever.
