Horsham Grampians, Australia Diocese of Ballarat Catholic Education Limited Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

We are seeking a collaborative and visionary educational leader to model faith in action, inspire the school community, and enact a shared vision focused on excellence in education.

Set in the peaceful rural town of Edenhope, Western Victoria, St. Malachy's offers a rare opportunity to step into leadership with confidence and support. With a population of around 937 and just 30km from the South Australian border, Edenhope blends country charm with easy access to regional hubs like Horsham and Mount Gambier making it an ideal place to lead, live and grow.

St. Malachy's are more than a school, it is a thriving, faith-filled community committed to nurturing every child's academic, emotional and spiritual growth. Calm and purposeful classrooms, a deeply connected team, and creative, hands-on learning experiences are all part of what makes the school environment truly special.

As one student perfectly put it: "They have our backs." And they do, every step of the way.

We are seeking a Catholic educator ready to embrace a principalship full of possibility. Whether you're early in your leadership journey or stepping into your first principal role, this is a unique opportunity to lead in a setting where your growth will be supported, your contributions valued, and your leadership nurtured with care and purpose.

You'll be joining a passionate, innovative team that believes in walking alongside each other, professionally and personally. With room to experiment, lead authentically, and grow with purpose, St. Malachy's is the kind of place where early career leaders can truly thrive.

The successful candidate will benefit from a remote-area financial incentive program valued at $9,629 per annum for the first three years with relocation costs also supported if required.

Commencement Date:Term 1 2026, or by negotiation.
