Teacher - Maitland Public School

2 weeks ago

Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia NSW Government -Teaching Service Full time

Position Information:


Maitland Public School was established in 1874 as a K-10 "Superior Public School" to provide for students from the schools of different religious denominations in the area and to reduce the social differences being felt in the community.

The ethos of social support and a "school for all" is one that continues to this day.


In 2021 the school has an enrolment of 457 students and is at capacity with 17 mainstream classes and 3 support classes for students with learning needs.

There are less than 100 local enrolments. It maintains a historical link with district structures and still maintains district support personnel in the school grounds.

The school has a FOEI of 120, which attracts significant low socio-economic funding.

18% of students identify as being of Aboriginal heritage and there are 1.5% of students for whom English is not their primary language.


The school draws students from as far afield as Singleton, Cessnock and Newcastle which places particular emphasis on parent and community participation, communication and inclusion due to the distance students travel to attend the school.

Attendance is above state average at 90.2% with 65.8% of students attending at or above 90% (above state average). That said, attendance is a key target due to the isolation from the school.

Key programs at the school include:

  • Technology with the plan including a further focus with the establishment of a dedicated MakerSpace as well as progression towards a Junior STEM Academy in partnership with partner high school Maitland Grossmann High School;
  • The Arts through three concert bands, additional individual tuition programs, as well as opportunities in public speaking and debating, vocal groups, dance groups, a StarStruck group, three Youth Theatre groups and creative arts; and
  • Student wellbeing, mainly through Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) and the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM), but also including a focus on transition and student leadership.

Selection Criteria:

  • Approval to teach infants and primary K6 with demonstrated ability to deliver high quality, differentiated literacy and numeracy programs using evidence based and data informed practices to improve student learning outcomes.
  • Exemplary classroom management and wellbeing practices to develop a positive classroom learning environment and implement inclusive strategies to engage and support a diverse range of students.
  • Highly developed communication, organisation and interpersonal skills with demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with teachers, support staff, parents and the wider school community, and contribute positively to the whole school culture.
