We are seeking to establish a pool of K-6 Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2025 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Dunsborough Primary School (PS) is surrounded by an abundance of leafy green trees. Our natural bush borders offer extensive nature play areas, including the occasional visit by a curious kangaroo. Dunsborough PS has a unique ‘rural’ feel, with modern facilities.
Our teachers and staff are caring, dedicated professionals who work hard to build respectful, trusting relationships with our school community. They are committed to ensuring every child realises their potential and strives to exceed. Teachers, parents, and the wider community work as partners making sure the needs of every student are met and their well-being comes first.
Our core learning is devoted to literacy and numeracy, whilst providing opportunities that meet the needs of the whole child. We equip students with the skills to cooperate, collaborate, be mindful and develop critical, creative thinking skills. Specialist classes include Physical Education, Music, Visual Arts, Digital Technologies, and Language. DPS is a sustainable school, focusing on educating our students on living sustainably.
