Valued college traditions develop a sense of continuity and identity for students and teachers. The College is also committed to promoting leadership skills in a learning environment based on co-operation, self-discipline and concern for others. Canterbury Girls' Secondary College is a Year 7 to 12 college situated in the City of Boroondara approximately 10 kilometres east of Melbourne. Enrolment at the College at the beginning of Year 7 can generally only occur from residents within the zone and as such restricts other students who may wish to study at the College. The student population is characterised by a relatively low proportion of LOTE speakers at home. The structure and operation of the Senior School, Years 10-12, reflects the increased maturity of its students and the preparation for transition to tertiary studies. Year 10 girls are able to access a wide range of VCE Units 1&2 and likewise in Year 11 to access Units 3&4. University enhancement is encouraged for more able students. The recognition of achievements occurs in a number of ways eg Presentation Night (Canterbury Celebrates), House Chorals and House Dance Drama Festivals and at Whole School, Sub School and Year Level Assemblies. A vibrant house system provides many co-curricular opportunities in areas such as sport, the performing arts (dance, drama and music), debating and Chorals. A high participation rate in house activities exists at each year level. The awarding of house stripes is keenly sought after. The house system nurtures the girls pride in their college which reinforces their sense of belonging and being valued for their contribution to their house. All staff are assigned to a house and support students in their house activities The College values and encourages student leadership. Positions of responsibility exist from Year 7 to Year 12. Student input and leadership ranges from curriculum discussion to the social wellbeing of peers to sporting and cultural activities. Roles include the Student Leadership Team, House Captains, Form Captains and Student Representative Council members. The College Ambassadors, drawn from Year 9 students, conduct tours of the College at work for prospective parents, their daughters and visitors including those from overseas.

Role Attendance requirement for this Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays begining Term 3, 2026 and concluding at the end of Term 2, 2027 An education support class position at this range will perform tasks that are carried out in accordance with guidelines, accepted practice, and school policy under supervision and direction. This may include coordination of other education support class staff within the work area or educational program. An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students but must not include duties of a teacher as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor. Supervision of students can be required individually or in groups up to 4 in controlled circumstances and where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher. Certification and/or qualifications of up to three years can be required at this level (noting that Registered Nurse is not included at this level, the first level for which is Level 1 range 3). A role at this range may include:
- Specific support tasks to achieve outcomes. Typically, this will involve accountability for a single function, (e.g. ensuring data is properly maintained) or the co-ordination of a work area under the direction of the principal or a manager.
- Assisting teachers, within an educational program, by undertaking specific support tasks or the coordination of the support function.
- Supervised health and wellbeing support tasks, medical intervention support tasks, or other specialised student/teacher support roles (e.g. enrolled nurses performing the role as described in schedule 3). These roles require specific qualifications and/or training, including roles where further training must be undertaken from time to time. The role is for a specific purpose, for which there will be direct accountability as opposed to support roles that are carried out by a range of staff performing routine tasks under direction.
- Technical tasks that require a sound knowledge of basic technical and/or scientific principles that are used to develop and adapt work methods and make judgements where there are clear guidelines and limited options. Routine technical support in libraries, science, and information technology would be typical examples. An education support class position at this range commencing at the base will initially be limited to undertaking routine tasks that are carried out under close supervision and direction. Work that carries some degree of independence will generally involve a limited number of tasks performed on a regular basis where priorities are explicit, procedures are well established, and direction is readily available. Subject to any specific qualification and/or training requirement, an education support class employee employed in this range may be progressively required to undertake coordination, specialisedstudent/teacher support tasks, or technical tasks as experience in the role is gained.
