Halls Head College (HHC) is seeking a dedicated, highly competent and enthusiastic Languages Teacher. We are looking for a teacher who is passionate about language learning and the opportunities it provides for young people.
The college currently offers Japanese and Noongar. However, this role is unique in that it gives the successful applicant the opportunity to work with other LOTE (Languages Other Than English) staff to develop and refine the Languages program to be engaging, challenging and inclusive - privileging the General capabilities of Intercultural Understanding. As such, any language will be considered and applicants with the capacity to deliver multiple languages are encouraged to apply.
The successful applicant should possess the ability to develop and deliver quality languages programs, build positive relationships with students and work as part of a team.
HHC is an Independent Public School which caters for the very diverse needs of students. Our mission is to 'nurture lifelong learners who contribute positively to the community' and by working in partnership with our parents, students and broader community we ensure each of our students are equipped with the skill set, knowledge and capabilities to be active and positive citizens, achieving success beyond Years 7 to 12.
Our college proudly offers a diverse range of pathways to our students in high level ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) for direct entrance to University, Apprenticeship or TAFE options. Alternatively, for those students who are unsure of where they wish to head post school, we ensure they have the most competitive currency and skill sets to make well-informed decisions as they move forward.
We are uniquely situated on the 'island' of Halls Head just south of Mandurah. The local intake area of Halls Head College is south, close to the Waroona Shire boundary. Our partner primary schools are Glencoe, Halls Head, Falcon, South Halls Head and Ocean Road.
