Yerecoin Primary School (PS) is seeking a motivated and passionate Primary Teacher to teach a small group of students in a multi-age classroom.
Yerecoin PS caters for children from Kindergarten to Year 6. Many students live on farms and we also have a culturally diverse student population.

The school is a dynamic learning community where teachers and parents work collaboratively to achieve a shared vision of excellence and students are motivated to strive to achieve their best and also to exceed their potential. The low student-to-staff ratio ensures individual attention and assistance, both in and out of the classroom. Classes are structured to ensure optimal outcomes for our students. The school offers an early childhood and upper primary class structure.
Yerecoin PS is situated in the Wheatbelt, 153 kilometres northeast of Perth. You can commute back to Perth in just over an hour. Yerecoin is surrounded by farmland and has a great gift shop which sells fabulous takeaway meals and coffee and there is a tennis club in town. The subsidised housing is modern, spacious and located a few streets away from the school. Also located 20 minutes away in a larger town is an IGA, gym, swimming pool and other shopping / sporting facilities
