This is a permanent part-time (0.75 FTE) position commencing Term 2, 2026
At Manea Senior College (SC), we have a strong moral purpose to provide students with quality teaching and learning opportunities as well as life experiences that enable them to transition into the adult world. This is achieved through an environment that is specialised for young adults and built on the foundation of strong relationships, mutual trust, respect, support and individual accountability. Our ethos is one of familiarity, with staff and students engaging on a first-name basis, fostering an atmosphere where everyone is treated with the respect deserving of young adults.
Our core purpose is to ‘prepare students for life,’ and central to this mission is our unwavering commitment to instilling a young adult environment with workplace expectations. We firmly believe that in order to support young individuals in their transition to the adult world, it is imperative to treat our students as young adults. This guiding principle permeates every aspect of our daily practice.
Strategically located with Edith Cowan University (ECU) South West Campus and South Regional TAFE (SRT), Manea SC students have access to facilities across the Education Precinct and the opportunity to pursue Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and general courses alongside nationally recognised training qualifications.
Our staff are expected to uphold the corporate image of Manea SC by wearing the staff uniform, adhering to the Department of Education code of conduct and participate in providing students with value-add experiences and other student supports. In addition, it is expected that staff will maximise the use of the web-based portals including Microsoft Teams to provide online access to teaching, learning and assessment outlines.
