We are seeking to establish a pool of School Officers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

At Greenwood College we provide CARE (Cooperation. Achievement. Respect. Engagement) to every student with all staff committed to our values. Instilling these values in every student as they progress through the College further equips them for their life beyond school.

Suitable applicants should have the capacity to undertake a wide range of effective administration and customer focused support services within a vibrant, multicultural senior high school. Our facilities and staff expertise in our Intensive English Centre mean that we can cater for newly arrived students from all over the world. In addition to this, our two specialist programs, Aviation and Volleyball, make Greenwood College an exceptionally desirable school in Perth.
