**Our Location**: Maitland is a growing and vibrant city located in the beautiful Lower Hunter Valley in regional NSW. It offers a picturesque rural setting and excellent community facilities, making it an attractive regional location. With proximity to Newcastle and nearness to Sydney, all of the benefits of regional NSW living are available while accessing more extensive city opportunities.

**About the Role**: The Primary Teacher roles advertised for 2025 will form part of our dynamic and high-performing staff team, with the final allocation of classes for 2025 still to be determined. As a passionate, collaborative, growth-minded Christian educator, you will be seeking to join a hardworking and committed team pursuing excellence in Christian Education.

Maitland Christian School is an established Prep to Year 12 Christian School in the Hunter Valley. The School has provided quality Christian education for almost 40 years within a vibrant community emphasising an individual’s strength as we aim for academic, sporting, and cultural excellence. Maitland Christian School’s purpose is to be a Christian educational community, growing faith, character and abilities through teaching and learning excellence, partnering with families and the Church. The School is modern and well-equipped and employs qualified staff who are committed Christians and active members of their local church.

We value quality leaders and educators and invest significantly in our teaching staff. Maitland Christian School utilises an Instructional Coaching program to empower teachers to grow in their capacity and skill of implementing evidence-based, high-quality teaching practices based on explicit teaching foundations. After a recent visit to our School, a nationally recognised literacy expert had the following to say about our School:

- “Yesterday I spent the whole day with 5 leaders from a K-12 school north of Sydney. Their incredibly supportive principal ducked in from time to time whilst doing everything else he needed to do, and you could see he had complete trust in his team. Indeed, these teachers have been on a long journey, the best part of a decade, to find training and coaching that will help the whole School keep on improving in delivery of high-quality literacy instruction. They have consistently risen above the state and national average in standardised tests over the past ten years and are known far and wide as a highly effective school.”_
