22 hours ago
Closing Date: 9am Monday 8 September 2025
Milkwood Steiner School is situated on Larrakia land (Darwin) in the tropical north of Australia, delivering a Steiner Curriculum to 170 students from Kindergarten to Year 10. Our Kindergarten includes a beautiful playground that extends to a beautiful native bushland.
We are a thriving, growing school with a welcoming community and children from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our College of Teachers are committed to applying the richness of a Steiner Education to the unique cultural and environmental context of Australia's Top End. We are seeking a colleague who has a strong desire to grow our school with us.
Milkwood teachers are supported by highly experienced teacher assistants and a rich release/specialist subject program. A Learning Enrichment teacher supports teachers, classes and individual students with diverse learning needs as needed.
In 2026, Milkwood has 2 Kindergarten classes in a beautiful, home-like environment with a Steiner, play-based program for children in the years they turn 5 and 6 years old. The teacher is supported by Teacher Assistant, and also works closely with Indigenous Elders, Families, Principal and the College of Teachers, to integrate Indigenous Knowledge across the Kindergarten curriculum. The 5 year old Kinder (Bush Apple Kinder) is a registered preschool through ACECQA – teachers are required to have an approved early childhood qualification to teach this class. The 6 year old Kinder (Waterlily Kinder) is Milkwood's Transition class year (year prior to Class 1). An early childhood qualification is desirable to teach this class but not essential.
Applicants who do not meet the Steiner Teaching qualification requirement, but have a willingness to engage in Steiner Teacher Training are strongly encouraged to apply, and will be provided with support and mentoring to join our College.
Indigenous applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.
Key Responsibilities- Work effectively with the College of Teachers, Principal and Administration Staff
- Plan, implement, document, assess and report on teaching programs aligned to the Australian Steiner Curriculum Framework.
- Develop educational adjustment plans and other adjustments for individual students based on best practice interventions for inclusion, wellbeing, and learning.
- Maintain accurate records of class attendance, engage with incident reporting, behaviour management reporting and mandatory reporting as required.
- Supervise a range of student activities including support and welfare programs, Festivals, and other.
- Communicate regularly with parents via email, phone or face-to-face, via parent-teacher conference (Term 2 & 4) and group information sessions (Term 1 & 3).
- Attend relevant meetings, including a reasonable number of planning meetings, at the discretion of the Principal.
- Ensure appropriate behaviour of students in class, around the school and whilst on excursions or camps.
- Care for the classroom and manage the classroom budget, ensuring that the aesthetics, layout, and management of the room reflect the cultural values of Milkwood Steiner School and support teaching and learning.
The applicant must be an Early Childhood Qualified Registered Teacher in the NT (TRB), and provide a current Ochre Card, Police Check and First Aid Certificate (or be able to provide these prior to the contract start date). Milkwood's 5 year old Kindergarten is an ACECQA-registered preschool. A list of approved qualifications can be found on ACECQA's website. Teachers with Steiner early childhood teaching experience, without an approved early childhood qualification are encouraged to apply but are only able to teach in the 6 year old class (Transition grade).
