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 employees position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

We believe in establishing sound foundations whilst supporting students to grow into valued members of our society.
Our students have an increased use of off-campus learning and the use of learning resources in the wider community through access to VET and Pathways programs; and a further increase in the use of new information technologies to provide continuous access to new and powerful ways of learning and sources of knowledge. Students who fall behind their peers are provided with special assistance, extra time and support to enable them to achieve desired standards. The college has allocated a significant level of its funding to develop and maintain extensive Learning Technology resources.
Transition is a key Year 7 focus that aims to ensure a smooth transition from a primary to the secondary setting.

The College promotes excellence through programs which offer students opportunities for enrichment and personal growth. These include core Maths, Science and English; in these core studies students elect, with advice from teachers, a level to meet their personal learning standards. Students may also select performance and artistic programs; academic challenges; sports; camps and excursions; student leadership; community service; pastoral care; work experience and structured work place learning.
Upon completion of Year 10, most ISC students move on to the Mildura Senior College, supported by a comprehensive transition program. VCE results achieved by our students have been excellent.
