Join the Karwan Primary School team and seize this unique opportunity to be part of our growing community. As we embark on our second year of operation, we are proud to have already established a positive school culture that resonates throughout every corner of our school.

We have established a tremendous foundation team, and are looking for integration aides with similar values; collaborative, trusting, hard-working, dedicated, committed, flexible in their thinking, open and most importantly a willingness to have fun at work They bring together a mixture of skills and expertise, but all demonstrate the above values and work together to support one another. Our staff take immense pride in protecting this welcoming, inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere, where we all work harmoniously towards our common goals.

With a hands-on approach, you'll find the Principal Class actively engaged in the school community, visible daily in and around classrooms, on yard duty, and interacting with the students. With an open-door policy, they warmly welcome any staff member seeking support or conversation or any student wanting to show them their work. They wholeheartedly foster a collaborative environment, where every staff member¿s voice is not only heard but also valued.

Additionally, the introduction of our newly established Learning Specialists will further support the work of the integration aides within the classrooms. These specialists are highly qualified and experienced educators who bring a wealth of knowledge to the table.

Finally, teachers work actively with integration aides, allowing the sharing of valuable knowledge and important student specific information. There is mutual respect and knowledge is shared both ways. All integration aides have their own desk and space and are treated as valuable members of the classroom and school community.
