• Differentiate learning to meet diverse student needs, ensuring all learners are supported and challenged.
• Collaborate with colleagues, the Pastoral Care team, and parents to ensure consistent support and integration of Christian values in teaching and wellbeing.
• Contribute actively to the broader life of the College through camps, excursions, and cocurricular programs.

Selection Criteria:

Essential:

• A personal commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and active involvement in a Christian Church.
• Alignment with the Association's Statement of Faith, Foundational Statements of Belief, and Educational Objectives.
• Demonstrated ability to create engaging, supportive, and well-managed learning environments for upper primary students.
• Proven experience in delivering explicit instruction in literacy and numeracy.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and organisational skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively within a team.
• Current Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia (TRBWA) registration and a valid Working with Children Check (WWCC).
