Appointment Pool
Caralee Community School are seeking to establish a pool of Kindergarten to Year 6 teachers for appointments to permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2023 school year. Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2023 school year.
We are seeking teachers who pursue excellence in teaching, have high expectations, and who truly believe that all children can learn and be successful. Applicants should be committed to putting students first in their decision-making and provide purposeful and relevant learning experiences that cater for differentiated student learning needs as outlined in the Western Australian Curriculum.
You will ideally deliver motivating and quality educational programs and believe that exemplary, evidence-based teaching practices lead to successful students and high standards of achievement. Suitable applicants should display experience in whole school approaches to teaching and learning including programs such as Letters & Sounds, Talk for Writing and Stepping Stones mathematics. Additionally, suitable applicants will ideally have experience with class instructional models that use explicit teaching and gradual release of responsibility to support learning.
Suitable applicants should have experience supporting culturally diverse students in a community with high numbers of Aboriginal students and families. This will include use of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies at the class level as well as evidence of supporting and improving engagement and attendance for vulnerable students.
Suitable applicants should have excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to build effective working relationships with staff in order to collaborate in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to improve student outcomes. Applicants should be committed to fostering and maintaining positive communication and relationships within students, parents and the wider community.
At Caralee Community School we provide high quality learning opportunities for students to fulfil their academic, creative, social and physical potential. Students engage in rich, diverse and challenging experiences, empowering them to become resilient and responsible future citizens.
