Teacher - Primary

Overview

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

Our school builds its culture around the four Whole School values of Resilience, Respect, Responsibility and Doing Your Best. We are a proud Independent Public School with a rich 40-year history of providing successful education. We currently cater to 380 Kindergarten to Year 6 students taught by well-qualified, experienced and dedicated teachers working in partnership with parents to ensure the needs of every child are met.

We take pride in the care we take for our students, our quality learning opportunities and our openness to new ideas and new people. Our school offers specialist teaching programs in Music, Japanese, Science and Physical Education. Our students have access to a range of technologies, inclusive of desktop computers, laptops, iPads and robotics/coding equipment. Our staff are committed to providing relevant and engaging learning experiences and all teaching staff belong to one of four committees responsible for driving literacy, numeracy, Aboriginal perspectives and student health and wellbeing.
