Newman Catholic College, Smithfield

Newman Catholic College, co-located on James Cook University site, Smithfield, is Cairns Catholic Education’s newest college, joining a system of 29 other catholic schools and colleges. Opened in 2022, with approximately 140 Year 7 students and growing a year level each year until Year 12 is reached in 2027, its location on and interaction with the University presents endless opportunities to meet the diverse learning needs of our students. Newman Catholic College works collaboratively with James Cook University so that learning and teaching is enhanced at all year levels.

About the Role

The primary purpose of the Leader of Inclusion (Compliance & Administration) at Newman Catholic College is to ensure that the school upholds the highest standards of organisational excellence, compliance, and resource management in the realm of inclusive education. This role is crucial in actualising a framework where every student is afforded an equitable and accessible educational experience, guided by the tenets of Catholic teaching and the insightful perspectives of St. John Henry Newman.

The role is not primarily concerned with the pastoral aspects of inclusivity but is focused on the processes that enable it. Responsibilities include ensuring that the school's policies and practices are in strict adherence to educational laws and standards, managing the complexities of funding for inclusive education programs, and overseeing the administrative tasks that these endeavours entail.
