About This JobPosition Information
Greenacre PS is a dynamic primary school delivering primary education from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school is located in the inner south west of metropolitan Sydney. Established in 1921 we continue our proud history of public education as part of the New South Wales Department of Education, designing learning to meet the needs of over 600 students. The school is led by a team of highly committed teachers, support and ancillary staff ensuring the specific needs of our children are met in safe and responsive learning environments. The greatest asset enriching the social and educational experiences of our children, teachers and parents is the school's cultural diversity. The student population is comprised of students from non-English speaking (90%) and English speaking backgrounds who come together with a strong sense of identity and partnership. A support unit with classes for students with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities and an opportunity class for academically gifted Year 5 and Year 6 students with high potential further enhances the commitment to inclusivity.
Explicit and systematic teaching in literacy and numeracy, along with using data to inform practice are focus areas within the school. The school's philosophy aims to maintain high learning expectations, teaching students to persist through challenges and difficulties in learning, encouraging students' awareness of broader life opportunities and supporting students to reach their personal best.
Staff are committed to their professional growth in order to build a school with a culture that focuses on continual improvement. Meaningful relationships based on trust and mutual respect along with the well-being of all people connecting within the school is crucial to student success. The school is committed to open communication and evidence informed practice.
