The School

Henry Brook Primary (PS) opened in January 2024 with approximately 200 students from within the rapidly growing suburbs of Brabham and Henley Brook (located in the Swan Valley, near Whiteman Park). At the heart of our foundation school, is our motto; Connect, Belong Thrive, because when students feel connected to their teachers, and parents feel a connection with the school, students are best positioned to thrive.

In partnership with families, our goal is for all students to make year on year growth. We provide innovative and engaging learning experiences, which promote individual excellence and develop social responsibility. We aim to support the social, emotional, and academic growth of each student through evidence-based practices, supportive learning environments and a strong pastoral care approach focused on student well-being. Classrooms at Henley Brook PS are calm, appealing, and welcoming, promoting a positive classroom tone. Clear routines and structures have been established quickly, to ensure every student feels safe, secure, and supported.

We are looking for a passionate and dynamic Music Teacher to lead and grow our music program. Someone who can inspire students, bring fresh energy, and help us build something truly special. This position is available for 3 or 4 days per week, offering flexibility for the right candidate and with the option for this to become full time in the future as the school grows.

At Henley Brook PS, we believe the Arts are important to a well-rounded education. Music nurtures creativity, builds confidence, strengthens emotional wellbeing, and helps children connect with themselves and others. It’s not just about playing notes, it’s about finding voice, rhythm, and joy.

Our school has a vibrant choir, and we’re excited to find someone who can enhance and develop it further. Whether it’s leading performances, introducing new repertoire, or helping students discover their musical spark, we’re looking for someone who can bring vision, warmth, and creativity to our program.

If that sounds like you, we’d love you to apply and be part of something special at Henley Brook.
