We are seeking to establish a pool of K-6 Teachers 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.

Gingin District High School is an Independent Public School situated 85 kilometres from the CBD of Perth. Our catchment area is large - over 3000 square kilometres - and students come to school from a variety of backgrounds, some of whom are affected by trauma and bring complex social and behavioural issues to school. Our Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) is around 960, making us a Band 8 school. Our school supports a play-based early childhood program which incorporates a range of experiences and includes explicit teaching, structured play, and unstructured play, determined by student developmental needs and professional decision-making.

Our school has an ethos of caring for students, and our values of Care, Respect, Try and be Responsible, denoted by the acronym CRTR (critter), guide our approach to behaviour management, student interactions and expectations. Individual student interventions are guided by specific student needs, available data, and collaboratively working towards identified outcomes. Suitable teachers may be deployed at a required year level to meet the needs of students.
