This is a 6 month fixed term, part-time (0.6 FTE) position commencing Term 1, 2025 with possible extension and/or permanency
Located in Moora, only 172 kms north of Perth, Central Midlands Senior High School (SHS) is a vibrant educational community, offering a wide range of academic and vocational subjects for approximately 200 students from Year 7 to Year 12.
Students at Central Midlands SHS are motivated to strive to achieve their best and to realise their potential in a values-rich environment. All students have access to innovative, flexible pathways for learning. One major attraction of the school is the small class size: a low student-to-staff ratio ensures plenty of individual attention and assistance, both in and out of the classroom.
