Dwellingup Primary School (PS) is seeking a dynamic and highly motivated Upper Primary Teacher to join our amazing team.
Dwellingup PS is in many ways the heart of the community and is set in beautiful grounds amidst the Jarrah and Marri forests in the outer metro region of Perth.

They will ideally be committed to ongoing professional growth and development, (especially in the area of HIITS – High Impact Instructional Strategies), will support current whole school processes and be collegial, effective collaborators.
Applicants who possess specialist skills are highly desirable. Sustainability is embedded across the school so an ability to run authentic, engaging, curriculum linked programs that incorporate our wider community would be advantageous. We value our school context and offer this as a point of difference.
Our school conducts an inclusive and values-based education program. We respect the rights of each student and we pride ourselves on providing opportunities for each child to become a lifelong learner. Skills, knowledge and values attained, enable achievement in a rapidly changing world, within an atmosphere of care, respect and self-worth.
