We are seeking to establish a pool of Mathematics 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.

Bob Hawke College in Subiaco opened in February 2020 as the first high density inner-city public secondary college in Western Australia. The College is committed to the ethos of being Extraordinary Together as an inclusive school working together with students, staff and the community to deliver the best possible outcomes for all 2000 students from years 7 to 12. Our pastoral care approach has been specifically designed to support young adults. Specialist staff provide students with individual support, as well as delivering social and emotional learning through CREW – our pastoral care program. All of our staff excel in their profession and inspire and motivate students, encouraging them to take responsibility for themselves, for others and for the world around them.

Student achievement and endeavour is at the heart of Bob Hawke College. We encourage our students to challenge themselves across all areas of learning, to extend themselves to achieve their personal best and excel in areas of interest.

Bob Hawke College offers a diverse curriculum of traditional and contemporary courses, which combine with our college values to form the basis for students to become internationally minded and able to contribute to global endeavours. Our students benefit from cutting edge technology, in state-of-the-art surroundings and world class facilities. Our buildings and workspaces are designed to reflect the historical and cultural context of the College, and its place in the developing community of Subiaco. Our Gifted and Talented Academic Program caters for the learning needs of academically gifted students, and we provide two annual scholarships for this program through our Bob Hawke Regional Academic Scholarship program.
