Can you make our school sparkle?
We are seeking to establish a pool of cleaners for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2025 school year and up to the end of Term 2, 2026. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Yarralinka Primary School is located in the growing community of Southern River and currently caters from Kindergarten to Year 6. All students have the potential to achieve big things, which is why we place a strong focus on developing all aspects of a child- social, emotional, physical and academic. We work on the understanding that this can only be achieved through collaboration and authentic community partnerships. Everyone at our school - from the principal to the cleaning team- takes on the responsibility of building relationships with students and families in a respectful and culturally responsive manner.
