The ideal applicant may coordinate the procurement, cataloguing and establishment of the library collection, and assisting in the creation of an engaging library environment for the students and staff.

Working closely with the Manager Corporate Services and leadership team, suitable applicants will ideally contribute to the successful establishment of the school through a broad range of responsibilities may include:

• supporting the enrolment process and providing exceptional customer service to prospective and current families;
• building positive relationships with parents and acting as one of the first points of contact for our school community;
• collaboratively developing efficient administrative systems, procedures and workflows to support a new school;
• assisting with financial administration, purchasing and procurement activities;
• supporting school communications through newsletters, publications, social media and promotional activities; and
• contributing to a collaborative team committed to continuous improvement and exceptional service.

As a newly established school, Boola Bidi PS will commence with the Department's Kaartdijin Phase 2 implementation, including the full rollout of Compass for enrolment, student administration and finance processes.
