Join us on our journey of excellence
We do “the right work, the right way, for the right reasons.”
We are seeking to establish a pool of passionate, committed and future-focused teachers to join our dynamic school community 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 3, 2026. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Whether you're an experienced teacher or at the beginning of your career, we are looking for educators who share our deep commitment to student growth, equity, and continuous school improvement.
Established in 2018, Aspiri Primary School (PS) is now in its eight year and has grown into a thriving learning community with 1020 students enrolled and projected growth to over 1200 by 2027. We are a large, inclusive and highly multicultural school, with over 50 languages spoken across our community. Our diversity is our strength, and we are proud to serve a community that values education and fosters a strong sense of connection and belonging. Our physical environment is designed to encourage exploration, play and creativity, with expansive nature play areas and a strong focus on play that supports curiosity and collaboration.
Aspiri has recently been selected to participate in the Department of Education’s Centre for Excellence in Explicit Teaching. This recognition affirms our commitment to high-quality, evidence-informed instruction and teacher development. As part of this initiative, our school is focused on building and sustaining practices that make a measurable impact on student outcomes in English and Mathematics. In English, we are strengthening the structure and consistency of our whole-school Literacy Block, with a clear focus on fluency routines and the systematic teaching of phonics through the Letters and Sounds program. Through the use of COST (Components of Spelling Test) we are deepening our shared understanding of what effective teaching looks like, sounds like, and feels like in Years 3-6.
Our Mathematics improvement agenda is equally robust. We are implementing daily reviews and the Concrete–Representational–Abstract (CRA) approach to support the development of deep mathematical understanding. Our Math Committee is currently researching best practice, with an emphasis on consistent, explicit instruction across all year levels.
Wellbeing is foundational at Aspiri. Our students are explicitly taught and immersed in our HEART values – Honesty, Effort, Attitude, Respect and Teamwork – which guide behaviour, shape culture, and reflect our moral purpose as a school. These values are embedded in our day-to-day interactions and are the compass for how we support both students and staff to thrive. We believe that a kind, safe, inclusive, and values-based environment allows students to take risks, grow confidently, and build positive relationships.
Aspiri has embraced a distributed leadership model, recognising that great schools are built on collaboration, shared purpose and teacher voice. Staff actively lead and contribute to a range of committees and working parties that drive improvement in areas such as English, Mathematics, Early Childhood, Cultural Responsiveness and Wellbeing. Our commitment to Department's Leading Cultures of Teaching Excellence program reflects our belief that strong teaching cultures come from collective efficacy, trust, and professional accountability. All staff are supported to engage in classroom observation, feedback cycles, and ongoing professional learning aligned with our whole-school priorities.

The Role
We are seeking educators who are not only effective classroom practitioners but who also embrace the journey of continual growth. Suitable applicants should be confident in working collaboratively with their year-level teams and committed to the use of data to inform teaching and learning decisions. A sound understanding of the WA Curriculum is ideal, along with a willingness to engage in explicit teaching practices that improve student achievement, particularly in literacy and numeracy. Experience or interest in working with English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) students, early learners, and the use of digital tools including iPads and Apple Classroom will be well regarded.
This is a unique opportunity to join a school at a transformative time in its development. We invite you to be part of a community where learning is visible, improvement is purposeful, and every child is known, valued, and supported.
Come join us at Aspiri PS where we refer to Patrick Lencioni’s 5 Team Behaviours in the quest to form high performing teams, with kindness, commitment, collaboration driving everything we do.
