We are seeking to establish a pool of Primary 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.
At Mundaring Primary School (PS) we develop the cognitive, social, physical, and creative abilities and skills of children so they have the best start possible to their schooling and can reach their potential. Catering for children from Kindergarten to Year 6, our school is characterised as being community and environmentally friendly. It has a small country school feel, yet is large enough to offer a range of options and facilities.
Our staff are life-long learners and are committed to making a difference to the lives of our students. Our programs provide children with the opportunity to study a range of subjects including music, physical education and Japanese. We have an extensive environmental program that runs across the school and is an excellent example of the benefits of students, parents and staff working in partnership.
