The School

Since 1921, Pinjarra Senior High School (SHS) has proudly served the community of Pinjarra and its surrounding region. The school provides a blend of traditional and innovative programs designed to prepare students from year 7 – 12 for higher education, vocational training and employment.

At Pinjarra SHS, we are committed to developing a learning culture wherein all members of our school community are empowered to grow through being innovative, connected and resilient. We seek to foster and develop Growth Mindsets in our staff and students through targeted pedagogy and professional learning, with a clear focus on quality teaching and learning strategies to facilitate purposeful engagement for all students. This approach underpins our instructional model and forms part of the overall strategy to develop confidence and agency in our students during their secondary school years, captured in our school vision, ‘Growing Learners for Life’.

To create a safe and supported learning environment, we expect all teaching staff to be trained in Classroom Management Strategies (CMS), Instructional Strategies for Engagement (ISE), and Peer Observation and Feedback. We are a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) school that promotes Tolerance, Respect, Unity and Embracing Opportunities as our core values. Positive behaviour is modelled by staff and expected of all students. Collectively, we act to enhance wellbeing and safety for everyone in our school community.

Interest, skills or experience in embedding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) into the HASS curriculum will be well regarded.

We are seeking a teacher who excels in engaging and motivating students through creating a safe and inclusive learning environment where students are supported to develop as learners.
