We are seeking to establish a pool of Chinese Language Teachers for fixed term, full-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Christmas Island District High School is located 360 kilometres southwest of Java and 2600 kilometres northwest of Perth. We cater for approximately 300 students from Pre-primary to Year 12 on our main site and more than 20 Kindergarten students at the Tom Patterson Kindergarten Centre.

Our school is well resourced which means class sizes are kept small and extra support is provided to classes in the areas of literacy, numeracy, information and communications technology, and pastoral care. Our commitment to valuing the home languages of the island means that students are offered the opportunity to learn either Mandarin or Bahasa Malay languages.
