We are seeking to establish a pool of Kindergarten to Year 6 Teachers 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 2026. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Embleton Primary School provides a welcoming, friendly and caring learning environment where students are encouraged to model our key values of respect, learning and safety. We have dedicated staff who share a commitment to the school vision and values. We provide a strong foundation in literacy, numeracy, science, humanities and social sciences and technology. Our students engage in a well-rounded curriculum experience based on the West Australian curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework. We also provide our students with the opportunity to study a range of subjects including music, physical education, digital technologies and Italian.
We enjoy the benefits of being a small school with a high level of academic achievement and pastoral care for students. Students are at the core of our school and as a community we work together to meet the needs of each child. The level of pastoral care and the pursuit of continual improvement in teaching that our staff at Embleton Primary School exhibit has a major influence on the success of our students. We have an ICSEA of 950 and our student population is 39% ESL and 12% Aboriginal.
