Red Cliffs Secondary College is the only government secondary school in the Mildura area catering for students from Years 7 to 12 including the VCE and VCE-Vocational Major. We are committed to developing Resilient, Compassionate and Successful Citizens, our core values that guide all aspects of College life.
Our College fosters a cooperative and inclusive learning environment where every student is supported to become a confident, independent learner with a strong sense of self-worth and empathy for others. Through our focus on resilience, compassion and success we empower students to maximise learning growth, strengthen engagement and thrive in an ever-changing world as creative and critical thinkers.
We offer comprehensive and sequential programs across all key curriculum areas. Senior students are supported through a range of pathways, including university, TAFE, apprenticeships and employment. Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs are available both onsite and through external providers. Students also benefit from dedicated wellbeing and guidance staff including a Social Worker, Mental Health Practitioner and Careers Advisor ensuring personalised support for their academic, emotional and career development.
In 2024, the College proudly launched the district¿s first onsite Sports Academy featuring specialised AFL and basketball programs led by dedicated coaches. The Academy provides students with opportunities to build resilience, demonstrate teamwork and compassion and strive for personal success through skill development and leadership.
With modern facilities, expansive grounds and a strong sense of community, Red Cliffs Secondary College serves approximately 350 students and is supported by a team of 70 staff.
The College is also the auspicing school for FLO Connect, a Flexible Learning Option that supports the re-engagement of students across the Mildura region.

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 employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.
- Ensure the provision of a range of administrative support functions for the Principal and teaching staff.
- Provide administrative support to external service providers as required.
- Manage the processing of student admissions, registrations, enrolments and transfers.
- Provide required level of administrative support for school events, functions and projects.
- Implement induction programs for new staff, volunteers and other workers to the school.
Individuals with the aptitude, experience and/or qualifications to fulfill the specific requirements of the position.
