Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Saint Philomena School Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

About Us

St Philomena School is a single stream P-12 independent Catholic School in Park Ridge, Queensland. Founded in 1999, St Philomena's seeks to provide excellence in Catholic and classical education, for the love of God and learning. We value education for education's sake, and not merely as a means to something else. A true education, while it must prepare a child for a career, must prepare them, above all, to live a truly virtuous and fully human life by nourishing a child's soul on the good, the true and the beautiful.

That is why we embrace a traditional approach to education, with an emphasis on teacher-led, explicit learning, history and literature. We believe that the Catholic heritage of Western Civilisation synthesises the wisdom of the classical world with the illuminating truth of revelation. We seek to form character, not merely to inform intellects. We consider ourselves privileged to be called to share in the work of education, conscious that, after the gift of His well-beloved Son and the Priesthood, the greatest honour God has granted to men is to allow them to form His children.

Our work is summarised in our vision: the formation of spiritually vigorous Catholic young men and women who are intelligent, cultured, healthy, vocationally prepared, social-minded and patriotic, formed by a well-rounded education.

St Philomena School is seeking a committed and enthusiastic Health & Physical Education (HPE) Teacher to join our Day School faculty in 2026. This is a full-time position teaching Prep to Year 12 HPE and includes the additional responsibility of serving as the School Sports Coordinator.

  • Work collaboratively with staff to integrate HPE within the broader framework of a Classical Catholic education.
  • Support the intellectual, spiritual, and physical formation of students in harmony with the school's mission.

Essential Criteria

  • Current registration with the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT).
  • Demonstrated experience in teaching HPE across multiple year levels.
  • Familiarity with the Australian National Curriculum (HPE).
  • Strong organisational and leadership skills to coordinate sports programs and events.
  • An understanding of and commitment to Classical Catholic pedagogy.
  • A willingness to support and promote the Traditional Catholic ethos of St Philomena School.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and foster positive relationships with students, parents, and staff.
