About the Role

The Department of Education, Western Australia, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Principal to lead Looma Remote Community School. As a Principal, you will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a school culture that promotes positive relationships between students, staff, parents, and the broader community.

You will be responsible for being innovative and creative in establishing systems and structures to foster academic development and improve students' social and emotional development. You will also engage a diverse school community in the school's educational programs.

The successful applicant will manage and maintain education practices that ensure a comprehensive educational program for all students in this remote community. The school is part of the Kimberley Schools Project, which involves the four pillars of Targeted Teaching, Attendance, Community Engagement, and Early Years.

The school places significant focus on ensuring the voice of Aboriginal parents is reflected in the actions, strategic directions of the parents and community members through a school community partnership. With over 95% of our student population and 50% of staff being of Aboriginal heritage, understanding the educational and social challenges of a remote setting and being able to work in a culturally responsive manner is essential to this role.

About Looma Remote Community School

The school is located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, approximately 130 km southeast of Derby. The school services the Looma Aboriginal Community and the town of Camballin. Looma Community is relatively young, established in the 1970s, and has developed steadily in a short period of time.

The population comprises of three major groups; Walmajarri, Nyikina, and Mangala. The name 'Looma' is Walmajarri for 'blue tongue lizard'; and the lizard is the school and community logo. A traditional legend traces the history of a 'Looma,' which travelled from Christmas Creek with its children to escape a big flood.

  • Establish and maintain a school culture that promotes positive relationships between students, staff, parents, and the broader community.

  • Engage a diverse school community in the school's educational programs.
  • Manage and maintain education practices that ensure a comprehensive educational program for all students in this remote community.
