Toowoomba, Australia Education Full time

This temporary vacancy is open to Expressions of Interest and any extensions to this appointment will not exceed 12 months.

**About Us**:
Situated on the outskirts of Toowoomba, our school is one of the oldest continually-open schools in Queensland. In 1851, a group of local residents requested land to build a school to provide education for the children of the local area. A slab and bark structure was built, with space for two classrooms and basic accommodation for the school master and his family. When the Drayton National School opened its doors on September 6th, 1851, 24 children were enrolled. In 1860, following the declaration of statehood for Queensland, the school became Drayton State School.
As a Positive Behaviour for Learning school, Drayton State School's purpose is to promote the academic, cultural, physical and social development of each child. Students are encouraged and taught to become self-motivated learners who can work independently, co-operatively and happily to gain the skills they need to make choices about their lives, now, and in the future. At Drayton State School, we are safe, respectful and responsible learners. The Head of Department (Curriculum) will continue to ensure appropriate pedagogical approaches and curriculum requirements are met.

**About the Role**:
Responsibilities include, but not limited to;
- Set high standards for student and staff performance.
- Actively participate in lifelong learning and ongoing professional development.
- Form partnerships with students, parents, other government agencies and community groups.
- Be futures oriented and strategic.
- Understand the legislation and policies that impact on schooling especially in relation to students and staff within the school department.
- Manage the human, financial, facilities and curriculum resources of the curriculum areas or whole school program to achieve goals including timetabling.
- Support staff and the principal with behaviour management.

Please refer to the attached role description for any mandatory requirements for this position.

**How to apply**:

- Please attach a brief resume including contact details for 2 referees (referees should have an understanding of your relevant previous work history); and
- A 1-pg written statement about how your achievements and capabilities meet the requirements of the role.
