We are seeking to establish a pool for appointments to permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies that may arise during the 2023 school year. Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2023 school year.
Candidates who have attained successful outcomes teaching English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D) in an Intensive English Centre, and successfully delivered senior school EAL/D courses in context of the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE), are invited to apply. Possession of EAL/D/TESOL qualifications is essential. Experience and success teaching and engaging with limited schooling students will be viewed favourably.
North Lake Senior Campus enrols to our Intensive English Centres (IEC) newly arrived migrant and refugee background students aged 16 and over with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds. These young people are resilient, motivated, and engaged learners. Through the study of a range of core and elective subjects, these students acquire Standard Australian English and the skills and knowledge needed for success in senior secondary school, including WACE and Vocational Education Training (VET) courses. Students also gain an understanding of the Western Australian education system and are supported in their pathways for future education, training or employment. The majority of students exiting the IEC remain at North Lake Senior Campus to complete studies in Year 11 and 12 courses at Foundation, General and ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) levels.
North Lake Senior Campus provides students with an alternative approach to Year 11 and 12 schooling. We are one of two senior campuses in Western Australia that offers secondary education to students beyond the compulsory age of 18 years. We are a multi-cultural senior campus that promotes an adult ethos. Staff and students work in partnership to develop the language and learning skills required by students to successfully transition to their post school destinations.
