East Kimberley College requires a motivated and experienced Information and Digital Technologies teacher to coordinate and deliver a variety of ICT and Digital Design programs with a focus on embedding and extending student's STEM and critical thinking skills and abilities.
As an Information and Digital Technologies teacher you would participate as an integral member of the Technology and Arts team and be responsible for supporting the collaborative approach to curriculum planning, providing learning programs to students according to the needs of the school community and modelling exemplary classroom practice.

East Kimberley College is a Kindergarten to Year 12 school with approximately 600 students in Kindergarten to Year Six and 350 secondary students in Years 7 to 12. About 50% of our students are indigenous.
The school is located on a large, well maintained and attractive site in the centre of Kununurra. In 2013 a $50 million building program was completed which resulted in extensive new classrooms and resources becoming available across both the primary and secondary areas. This now means that students have access to the most modern of facilities to support their learning, despite being a large distance from a major centre.
The school draws from a diverse town population of around 6000, representing Aboriginal communities, agricultural, horticultural, mining and related service industries. An extensive range of State and Commonwealth agencies is represented in Kununurra and they work closely with us to ensure the best support is available for our students.
