We are seeking to establish a pool of Education Assistant - Mainstream 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 1, 2026. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Our school vision is to create an uplifting and positive school community where all students succeed. We deliver a relevant curriculum for our students by balancing academic achievement with other areas of endeavour including STEM, the Arts, Physical Education and Horticulture. Our ongoing success is demonstrated through the positive student results we achieve and the awards that our school has won over many years.
As a school, we focus on learning, of course. But we also believe that school should develop the whole person, and the range of experiences that we provide shows how committed our teachers and non-teaching staff are to developing all of our students. With a wide range of events and opportunities for students, we develop a holistic approach to supporting each student.
Our staff have established a whole school process for teaching students, which ensures consistency in teaching across the whole school. Our whole school literacy and numeracy plans ensure the provision of high-quality teaching for all students throughout their schooling.
