Alkimos (Shorehaven) PS is located at the northern tip of Alkimos and will have a catchment area that will include students from the Shorehaven, Amberton Beach and Alkimos Vista estates.
With the exciting opportunity of being a foundation teacher, suitable applicants will help create a school environment that is positive, safe and instructionally focused whilst providing engaging classroom communities which are personalised to support the success of each and every learner. Suitable applicants will ideally possess the skills required to build and then maintain productive relationships with all members of the school community.
Suitable applicants should be able to provide examples of outstanding pedagogy and knowledge of contemporary whole-school practices which will enable them to quickly adapt to those taken on by our school.

Whilst knowledge of the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) model is not essential, strong behaviour management skills will be highly regarded to help develop a positive school culture. Equally regarded will be applicant’s ability to use Information Communication Technology (ICT) to both enhance learning and communication.
