A commitment to the Christian ethos of the College will be essential to support the spiritual and pastoral guidance of children, staff and the wider community.

All staff must commit to a culture that supports and embraces Child Safe Standards. The successful applicant will be required to hold and maintain a valid Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration.

**_Applications close 5pm Wednesday 16 August 2023._**

**THE ORGANISATION**

Presbyterian Ladies’ College (PLC) is a leading ELC to Year 12 Christian independent day and boarding school with a focus on the development of the whole person that includes an outstanding academic tradition, an international outlook and strong pastoral and co-curricular programs.

Established in 1994, PLC’s Early Learning Centre (ELC) has progressively grown to be one of the largest ELC’s within an independent school in Australia.

Founded in the Reggio Emilia philosophy of Early Childhood Education, the Centre’s unique, inquiry-based approach embraces the many languages of childhood and encourages children to become enthusiastic participants and communicators, actively contributing to their own learning.
