Exciting Primary School Teaching Opportunities

At Blue Mountains Grammar School (BMGS) we are growing, and are currently seeking passionate educators to join our Junior School team.

**About Us**

BMGS is a co-educational Christian School in the Anglican tradition for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. Established in 1918, the whole community of staff, parents and students are committed to achieving the highest academic outcomes possible for each student, whilst maintaining an emphasis on values, faith, and hope. The School maintains a proud tradition of academic excellence founded on high quality teaching, learning, and interpersonal relationships within an inclusive community in the heart of a beautiful World Heritage listed National Park.

The School is committed to a strengths-based approach to education, equally focused on the development of character, life capabilities, foundational academic skills and curriculum knowledge. Our students are empowered to be Change makers, using their skills and knowledge to make a difference in the world both locally and beyond the Blue Mountains. Teachers in the Junior School provide a student-centred education where curiosity, love of learning and play are woven into all we do.

The School operates over two campuses; our Springwood Junior School campus (Pre-K to Year 4) and our heritage-listed site at Wentworth Falls (Pre-K to Year 6, and Years 7 to 12).
