At Alta-1 we recognise that adverse life experiences can impact a student’s sense of self-worth, motivation and capacity for learning, making engagement in a mainstream school setting difficult.
As an independent, co-educational CARE (Curriculum and Reengagement in Education) School, Alta-1 is a Christian organi s ation that works with students from years 7-12. We provide students with wraparound support to guide them on a journey of recovery through a trauma-informed approach. This approach helps students acknowledge, confront, and resolve barriers that have impacted their ability to reach their full potential.
We believe in fostering a highly relational environment where students, teachers and staff develop meaningful connections based on trust, respect and empathy. These relationships serve as the foundation for effective teaching and learning, allowing us to better understand and support the unique needs and aspirations of each student.

Why you should choose us?
We offer attractive salary packaging options and p rofessional development all within a fun and friendly Christian working environment .
This role is covered by the current Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA), with exciting new benefits and updated conditions arriving in 2026 under a new agreement.
