A Business Manager role will usually undertake tasks that impact on the whole school. The role seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, finance or human resources.

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.

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 in matters relating to the school finance, human resources or school administration.

In 2017, we formed an association with the Nyora/Loch Landcare with our students becoming Junior Landcare ambassadors, which saw a strong focus on environmental science. This learning journey has begun to build and strengthened students awareness and knowledge of the environment through hands on activities related to the biodiversity of our school environment. Our students are becoming strong advocates for the environment, how to protect and look after it, for now and into the future. In 2018, we will look deeper into biodiversity in the school and community environment and further engage our students in environmental science.
