Ipswich Junior Grammar School’s Early Education Centre (EEC) is our fun and friendly co-educational community of young learners with an intimate, family atmosphere where children are supported to develop physically, socially, and cognitively. It is a well-resourced, caring, and vibrant environment which promotes curiosity, persistence, self-confidence, and positivity.

This includes the compliance aspects of the Centre, such as the policies, practices and understanding of the National Quality frameworks along with the leadership and management of the EEC team. There will be a teaching component to the role so the ability to be flexible with the capability to teach will be key areas we will be looking for in this role.
