We are seeking to establish a pool of highly competent and dedicated Secondary Generalist 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 Como Secondary College (SC) every student matters. As a school and as teachers we don’t give up on students, we constantly explore new ways to engage students who are not making progress. The personal and familial attributes and circumstances relating to a student are not viewed as excuses for a student’s lack of academic and/or social progress. Instead, they are viewed as challenges to be overcome.
