We foster a love of learning, inquiry and collaboration through our own role modelling of such practices in our work.

We view classroom teaching as a clinical practice, whereby teachers refine their skills and reflect on their own performance through the annual Wenona Improvement Cycle. This includes observed practice of our teaching by our colleagues and 360-degree feedback for all teachers.
Wenona supports both academic and support staff to develop their expertise through initiatives such as Wenona Teaching Fellowships, Seeding Grants and ongoing outstanding professional learning that develops and supports career development into the future.
This role will commence Term 4, 2023 or in Term 1, 2024, by negotiation. Please note this role has a small teaching load.

- Proactively develop and implement strategies, programs, events and activities to foster and support reading and literacy across the curriculum, in response to internal and external events, and to develop in students and staff a love of literature and habits of lifelong reading.
- Use a variety of selection tools to identify current trends in resources and literature and provide a user centred approach to information delivery and dissemination.
- Working as part of the Library team, ensure the day to day operation and administration of the Library is efficient and all systems, resources and equipment are well maintained. This will also include shelving books, acquisition and processing of materials and ensuring the organisation of resources and spaces is conducive to the smooth operation of the Library as a learning space.
