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.

Augusta Primary School (PS) is located on Wadandi Country in the beautiful seaside town of Augusta where the Indian and Southern Ocean meet, at the mouth of Blackwood River. In winter, the whales come annually to play off the Cape, and dolphins and stingrays are frequent visitors year-round. In this unique location we have a wealth of history and landmarks, featuring the Leeuwin Lighthouse, the tallest mainland lighthouse in the Southern Hemisphere. Augusta and the Primary School have a strong sense of community where everybody works together to achieve and build success across a range of domains.

Augusta PS caters for students from Kindergarten through to Year 6. The school is part of the Southwest Education District and is surrounded by native bushland and lovely gardens within spacious school grounds.
