Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

Hawker Primary School is a two-stream P-6 school. The unique open plan architecture requires a strong, collaborative culture, where teachers work closely in teams and share the responsibility of learning for all students.

The underpinning philosophy of the school embraces the loaves and the hyacinths principle in education:

- 'If thou of fortune be bereft and of thine earthly store hath left, two loaves sell one and with the dole buy hyacinths to feed the soul.'_

The loaves are about the core foundation skills: Literacy and Numeracy and the skills involved in learning. The hyacinths are about passion areas, creativity, curiosity and confidence. At Hawker we strive to offer a strong academic program in addition to providing a wide range of opportunities to assist students in discovering their passions and talents.

Hawker Primary School is seeking a pedagogical leader with expertise and experience in leading professional learning teams to interrogate data and to improve practice in spelling with a focus on embedding high impact teaching strategies. This role will also involve leading the Preschool team with a teaching load in this space. The successful applicant will possess the knowledge and skills to lead the Preschool through the Quality Improvement Process.

- Manage staffing and timetabling with responsibility for day-to-day relief staffing.

- Work with the Leadership team to develop strong partnerships with all stakeholders - parents, staff and students.
- Embed Cultural Integrity and lead the development of a Hawker Primary School Reconciliation Action Plan.
- Undertake an appropriate teaching load in the Preschool and other duties as determined by the Principal.

The ACT Public Service supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ are encouraged to apply.
