Henley Brook Primary School (PS) is 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.
Our school opened in January 2024 with approximately 200 students from within the rapidly growing suburbs of Brabham and Henley Brook (located in the Swan Valley, near Whiteman Park). At the heart of our foundation school, is our motto; Connect, Belong Thrive, because when students feel connected to their teachers, and parents feel a connection with the school, students are best positioned to thrive.
In partnership with families, our goal is for all students to make year on year growth. We provide innovative and engaging learning experiences, which promote individual excellence and develop social responsibility. We aim to support the social, emotional, and academic growth of each student through evidence-based practices, supportive learning environments and a strong pastoral care approach focused on student well-being. Classrooms at Henley Brook PS are calm, appealing, and welcoming, promoting a positive classroom tone. Clear routines and structures have been established quickly, to ensure every student feels safe, secure, and supported.
