Allanson Primary School (PS) is seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Early Childhood Education Teacher to join their school.
The successful applicant will ensure that our students develop the understandings, skills and attitudes relevant to individual needs thereby enabling them to fulfil their potential and contribute to the development of our society. In working together to achieve our mission, we seek to ensure the 'overarching learning outcomes' based on the key principles of the Curriculum Framework are achieved for all students.
Allanson PS has a long and colourful history and tradition as documented by Aileen Rusconi and Esther Saunders in the Publication, 'Our Little Bush School. 'The original Allanson School was established in 1913 to cater for children from families involved in the first coal mining and timber felling operations in this region. Dorothy Gibson was our school's founding principal, and she opened the rolls with 27 students.
Allanson PS is a modern school with a holistic approach to education with an emphasis on developing healthy, creative and individual students through Social Emotional Learning, Technology, Art, Health and Physical Education. Our students are also top performers in English and Mathematics as evidenced through NAPLAN. We have a strong focus on our “Bush School” atmosphere with environmental and sustainable school practices and learning experiences for students. Allanson PS prides itself on its “family vibe” with teaching staff involved in specialist roles across the school.
The original 1913 building was extensively renovated during 2001. This restoration project was undertaken by members of the Allanson community and funded through a Centenary of Federation grant. The building has returned to its former glory and stands proudly in the school playground. In 2018 a major upgrade of our Nature Play and Outdoor learning spaces commenced.
