Classroom Teacher (PE) (TFI 0030)

Location Profile

Cobden Technical School serves the town of Cobden and its surrounding dairy farming district. Cobden is located 200kms south west of Melbourne and 50kms from the Great Ocean Road, one of the world's most scenic coastal drives.

Cobden Technical School, established in 1969, is the only school in Victoria to have retained the name `Technical' from an earlier time when there was a separate Technical Schools Division within the Department of Education. The continuation of the name was the wish of the local community, with whom the school continues to enjoy a positive and mutually supportive relationship.

Cobden Technical School has been extremely innovative in resourcing its comprehensive, student-centred curriculum. Through the recruitment and training of teachers directly from the world of commerce and industry, the school delivers Year 7-12 courses, culminating in a broad range of subjects within the VCE, VET and VCE VM pathways.

Cobden Technical School is the lead-school in the Corangamite Trade Training Cluster. A $2.5m investment to upgrade the facilities and equipment for the Automotive, Building and Construction, and Electro-Technology subjects has further enhanced the substantial vocational opportunities already offered by the school.

In keeping with the school's motto, Cobden Technical School is strongly `Committed To Students, Committed to Success¿. We believe that the development of emotional and intellectual intelligence, coupled with an environment where learning is enjoyable, are central to our work to seek and celebrate successful outcomes for students. Staff at Cobden Technical School have established a culture of learning where every student is able to achieve significant growth.

Cobden Technical School prides itself on understanding and acknowledging that its students, staff and community are its greatest strength and resource. The strong relationships that exist within the school itself and between the school and the wider community have led to wonderful outcomes for many young people.
