Join to apply for the Teacher - Primary role at Department of Education, Western Australia

We are seeking to establish a pool of Primary Teachers 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.

Overview

At Mundaring Primary School (MPS) we develop the cognitive, social, physical and creative abilities and skills of children so they have the best start possible to their schooling and can reach their potential. Catering for children from Kindergarten to Year 6, our school is characterised as being community and environmentally friendly. It has a small country school feel yet is large enough to offer a range of options and facilities.

Our staff are life-long learners and are committed to making a difference to the lives of our students. Our programs provide children with the opportunity to study a range of subjects including music, physical education and Japanese. Our school community are very committed and support a strong School Board and P&C.

Our Moral purpose, 'Successful students in a supportive environment' drives all of our decision making. Through our work with the Fogarty EDvance Program and the Centre of Excellence of Explicit Teaching of Literacy, we have developed a very consistent lesson structure (EDI), strong Engagement Norms, and whole school routines to allow our students to use their working memory on the content taught and not trying to figure out how to learn. With a strong literacy block, our staff (teachers and EAs) work to drive progress in our students. Our planning documents and lesson resources allow staff to use their time to work on 'how' to teach and not 'what' to teach.

Role and expectations

The role is suitable for outstanding knowledge in evidence-based, explicit and assessment-focused teaching. Candidates should have a strong knowledge base on the Science of Reading and the Science of Learning, and a commitment to exemplary, evidence-based teaching practices that support continuous improvement and positive student outcomes. A collaborative whole-school approach and ongoing upskilling of self and colleagues are valued. Experience and evidence in implementing explicit teaching strategies and strong engagement norms are highly beneficial.

Successful applicants will be dedicated educators with strong collaborative skills and a team-oriented mindset, fostering positive connections with staff, students, families and the wider community. They should display outstanding interpersonal skills, teamwork, flexibility, initiative, and the ability to adapt to changes. A proactive attitude and creative problem-solving are desirable to create optimal opportunities for students.
