Pioneering Educator Role

Education Pioneer Opportunity

This graduate teacher program is an ongoing endeavor to foster a vibrant learning community in the Pakenham region.

A new school is being built as part of a commitment to deliver 100 new schools between 2019 and 2026.

The school features landscaped grounds, recreational spaces, including a sports field, and hard courts, alongside a community hub.

We will prioritize equipping our students with essential skills for positive social interactions, teamwork, and effective learning.

Within our structured, supportive, and inspiring educational setting, we will strive to nurture holistic development.

Our culture reflects our five values: REACH - Respect, Excellence, Adaptability, Courage, and Harmony.

These values support our approach to learning (for students and staff) and are key to respectful relationships across the school.

A kindergarten next door facilitates a seamless transition for local preschoolers, easing drop-off logistics for parents with both kindergarten and school-aged children.
