Education support employee

St Monica’s seeks a qualified and experienced Learning Support Officer who speaks fluent Italian to support our learning program and Teachers as Co-Learners Italian Program. At St Monica's Primary School, we utilise the Teachers as Co-Learners (TCL) approach to teaching Italian. This is a contemporary approach that is underpinned by research conducted in Victorian Catholic schools. As part of the TCL approach, Italian is four times a week by a home group teacher with the support of a native Italian language assistant to ensure all learners have frequent exposure to the target language. Our Italian program focusses on oral language using functional classroom vocabulary. All learners are encouraged to use Italian creatively throughout the day. At St Monica’s School, we hold the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as a central and fundamental responsibility of our school.
