    Notre Dame College are in the process of updating all role descriptions for the next POL cycle.

    the previous Learning Enrichment Leaders position has been rebadged to the Learning Diversity Leader and increased to POL 4 Director role.

    The increasing complexities of the NCCD, increasing number of students with learner profiles and large SSO staff has demanded greater emphasis to this position. In addition to this the college has NCCD admin position see role description

    see the draft role description.

    happy to chat if you need more details

    Hi Genevieve, welcome aboard. I’m happy to take your call if you wish to discuss structure at Notre Dame College/Shepparton. NDC completed a curriculum review in 2018. Since then, Year 7’s complete term based rotations of Art/Technology options. Art = visual, Drama, Music and Media. Technology = Food, Textiles, Wood/Metal and Digital. These subjects are scheduled for 6 x 50 lessons a fortnight = 1 double and 1 single each week. In year 8 students select to complete 2 semester based Art and 2 semester based Technology electives  from the following. The same 4 Art electives as Year 7 however Technology options increase to 6 options as follows: Food, Textiles, Wood, Metal, Systems and Digital. Same time allocation applies as Year 7.

    Our goal was to provide students with greater ownership and engagement of their electives from an earlier age.  Term based rotations are challenging if classes are impacted by disruptions and lost time. The emphasis is given to skills based projects and don’t over assess.   The semester based Year 8 program is blocked to support student choice so has some timetabling implications and can put pressure on resources including capping some programs. For example – food is always oversubscribed. Essentially students rank their choice rather than select options.

    Hope this helps. give me a call if you want more detail.

    Kind regards
