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.
At Picton Primary School (PS) we focus on the development of each child by providing them with opportunities to strive to achieve their potential in a caring, supportive, and safe environment.
We believe that every child can achieve their potential, but to do so, children need to feel safe, attend regularly and be actively engaged in their learning. Our vision is to enhance our already positive school culture and improve the prerequisites and enablers of learning to maximise student achievement. We want to create responsible students who show respect and strive for success to achieve their full potential.
